The Impressions were an American music group from Chicago, active from 1958 until 1983, whose repertoire included doo-wop, gospel, r&b, soul, and disco. Between 1958 and 1960 they performed as Jerry Butler & The Impressions. The group were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1991, and into the Vocal Group Hall of Fame in 2003.

Check Out Your Mind was twelfth studio and last Impressions’ album on which Curtis Mayfield would be singing as a member of the Chicago based blues and rhythm group. Just before he departed the Impressions for a solo career, Curtis Mayfield performed on one last album with the group. Check out Your Mind! saw Mayfield departing with class, driven by big, brassy nuggets of psychedelic soul like "Check out Your Mind," "You're Really Something, Sadie," and "(Baby) Turn on to Me." Despite the raised consciousness of the title, Check out Your Mind! also featured quite a few fine examples of traditional sweet soul, like the hit "Can't You See" (which hearkened back to the group's early days), "You'll Always Be Mine," and "Only You."
