This is absolutely wonderful! The sublime unfolding before our eyes...

[@aplan4me]

My, my, my...they still sound good as hell!

[@person3538]

I listened to this song a lot during a breakup, amazing song

[@robertvelez8485]

Wow! Double Wow and a Triple Wow! I've been trying to hold back the tears by watching this fantastic clip of Fred Cash and Sam Gooden of the Impressions! My only regret is not having Curtis Mayfield here with the guys singing though he is probably singing and playing his guitar in heaven!

[@namakudamono]

Oh man, this is so good!
I can't believe how authentic this line-up sounds!

[@realcoolbreeze]

Loved that and this rehearsal. Unbelievable song. Heard it in mid 60 s or so . Never forgot the words.Nearly 55 years ago- Guess I was 15 about that time.

[@carlaarden5891]

Love how relaxed the whole studio are, perfect for this song. Street soul

[@jamesmonroe6]

One of my favorites songs

[@reginaterrell715]

You guys look good after all this time... I hope you've considered sending positive messages through the word of God... I appreciate the love ballots of yester years...

[@Lilsparkle2002]

The Impressions have the best harmonies in world! "I've Been Trying" is my favorite by them. Great clip!

" THE GREATEST "

[@kaarefestvog6540]

When Sam Gooden sings, "to understand why", I get goosebumps.

[@SoulpowerRVA]

Sam Gooden and Fred Cash both are original members. In the center is Reggie Tiorian, who joined the group in 1972.
