The Young Mods' Forgotten Story is an album and song by the American soul music group The Impressions. The album was their second album released on Impressions member Curtis Mayfield's label Curtom Records originally in 1969.

Despite the Impressions late sixties work being known for their social or inspirational viewpoint such as #1 R&B hit "Choice of Colors" and "Mighty Mighty (Spade & Whitey)" the rest of the songs feature Mayfield's soul based love songs.

The last song "Mighty Mighty (Spade & Whitey)" hinted at the funk based sound Mayfield would explore on his later solo records.
