We're a Winner, included on a 1968 Impressions LP of the same name, became a virtual anthem for the Civil Rights Movement, and its success resulted not only in similar follow-ups from the Impressions among them Choice of Colors and This is My Country, but also marked the beginning of a trend towards increasing social consciousness in soul music.
