The legendary Curtis Mayfield wrote "Gypsy Woman" for his Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Vocal Group Hall of Fame-inducted group The Impressions in October 1961, which marked their first single following the parting of lead singer Jerry Butler and was featured on the group's eponymous debut album of 1963. The doo-wop-tinged R&B song – which notably relies on castanets for its folky percussion – made it to Number 2 on the US Billboard R&B chart, Number 20 on the Billboard Hot 100 and Number 17 on the Cash Box chart. In "Gypsy Woman," the protagonist is enraptured by a 'lovely woman with hair as dark as night'. "From nowhere through a caravan / Around the campfire light / A lovely woman in motion with hair as dark as night / Her eyes were like that of a cat in the dark / That hypnotized me with love," goes the opening verse. Nearly 30 years later, Santana notoriously gave the track a smooth rock facelift with their cover of the song, which made an appearance on the soundtrack of the movie Spirits Dancing in the Flesh.
