I'm so proud.. it's alright.. never could you be- and many more hits including the theme of the first[miss black America] pagent, at the close of the sixties the impressions sang about black pride..choice of colors.. check out your mind.. keep on pushing- just a shoutout to one of the great groups of soul music history-the fabulous impressions!

Thanks. That's all I was buying it for. It sounded good even on Youtube on my laptop speakers so I figured I could not go wrong from that point of view.

Is there a good quality recording of it?

I'm not aware of one, and a quick check on Discogs shows no CD releases for that title in their database.
