THE Impressions’ mix of vocal harmonies, melody and bold social comment was a huge influence on embryonic reggae music. The Wailers covered several Mayfield songs early on, such as “I Gotta Keep On Moving”and “Long, Long, Winter”. Later, Peter Tosh was inspired by “Hell Below…” to write “Get Up, Stand Up”, and Bob Marley drew on “People Get Ready” for “One Love”, acknowledging Mayfield as co-writer.
