Dwane Casey was born in 1957, one year before the band the Impressions — original members: Curtis Mayfield, Jerry Butler, Sam Gooden, Arthur and Richard Brooks — was formed. The group would peak in the mid to late 60s with hits like “People Get Ready” and their album This Is My Country. I have no reason to believe Casey is a fan of the Impressions given that they were at their best when he was about nine years old. (Though I’m confident Casey has at least heard of Curtis Mayfield or Jerry Butler, both of whom had visible and successful solo careers.
