The Impressions had come together from two groups: Sam Gooden and Arthur and Richard Brooks from The Roosters; Jerry Butler and Curtis Mayfield from the Northern Jubilee Gospel Singers - although both Jerry Butler and Curtis Mayfield sang with secular groups: The Quails and The Alphatones, respectively, to help out with finances. It was as the Roosters that they sang the Jerry Butler composition For Your Precious Love that got them a deal with Vee Jay, their name was changed to The Impressions - it was also Vee-Jay who decided to highlight lead singer Jerry Butler's name [probably with an eye on launching him solo] - and the song was released on Vee-Jay 280. Ewart Abner the labels general manager, also released it on the Falcon label, which was distributed by Vee-Jay.
