Where this album fits

Career context
By 1965, The Impressions were transitioning from their early doo-wop roots towards a more socially conscious sound. 'People Get Ready' is their fourth album and marked a significant shift in focus, propelled by the civil rights movement and the influence of producer Curtis Mayfield, who was establishing himself as a leading voice in soul music.
