| Abstract | R& B singer Samuel Gooden was born on September 2, 1934 in Chattanooga, Tennessee. At sixteen, he performed in church with twelve-year-old neighbor, Fred Cash. In 1953, after Gooden spent two years in Germany with the U.S. Army, he and Cash formed a quintet called Four Roosters and a Chick with Arthur Brooks and two friends. Gooden and Brooks left for Chicago in 1957 where Brooks' brother, Richard, along with Jerry Butler and Curtis Mayfield, joined them to form the Impressions. In 1959, Cash replaced Butler. In 1961, the quintet moved to New York where they recorded "Gypsy Woman." In 1963, Gooden, Mayfield and Cash returned to Chicago without the Brooks brothers. From 1963 to 1970, Gooden, Mayfield and Cash scored hits including "It's All Right", "Keep On Pushing", "People Get Ready" and "We're a Winner". Gooden and the group were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1991. |
