NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Sam Gooden, one of the original members
of the Chicago soul group The Impressions and a member of the
Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, has died.

His daughter, Gina Griffin, said Gooden died Thursday, a month shy
of his 88th birthday, in his hometown of Chattanooga, Tennessee, surrounded by his family.

The Impressions formed in the 1950s after Gooden and brothers
Richard and Arthur Brooks met Curtis Mayfield and Jerry Butler
in Chicago.

We thank God for them and strive to love more like them.

The modern holiday was first celebrated in 1907, when Anna Jarvis
held the first Mother’s Day
service of worship at Andrews Methodist Episcopal Church in Grafton, West Virginia.] Andrew’s Methodist
Church now holds the
International Mother’s Day Shrine. Her
campaign to make Mother’s Day a recognized holiday in the
United States began in 1905, the year her mother,
Ann Reeves
Jarvis
, died.
