Mayfield's I Loved and I Lost


This leaves me breathless. Beautiful, heart-aching, poignant, well-arranged by Johnny Pate, and featuring Mayfield and the rest of The Impressions singing their best. Mayfield's falsetto on "I loved and I lost" is also among his best vocal chops I have heard so far. "She was so beautiful, like flowers full bloom in May. Her kiss was like the roaring wind, it left me speechless with nothing to say, no, no, no." And the way the song concludes! Those crying horns match Mayfield's despondent voice!
