wasn't this the same track Darrell Banks recorded or someone i sure i heard it Friday when i was out

Close Paul. The track was recorded by Major Lance and the Impressions (being a Curtis Mayfield composition) both real nice Chicago Soul cuts but the Stairsteps version, having been recorded much later is a much smoother 'Crossover' track which, as Steve said above, I've been playing out since the early 80's (Clifton Hall, Cleethorpes, Bradford etc.).

More recently, I've included it in my sets at Soul Essence once or twice over the years and it always goes down well, but until this thread I've never seen it get a mention.

For me its one of the finest Soulful Dance tracks ever!

Simply Gorgeous!

And thanks for the name check Steve.

As you know, I've been plugging this baby for decades... and I'm pretty sure you'll be playing it too!

Now we only need another 2 or 3 'Soul DJ's' to pick up on it and we could have a Monster on our hands!

Sorry Nev,

Sold my spare UK Buddah copy to Steve Mannion.

But this should help...

Its also on the "Loves Happening" US Curtom LP (CRS 8002) from 1969.

I've got one of those too, but the cover is very different to the UK copy so I'm hanging onto it.

The LP also features the immaculate "Baby, Make Me Feel So Good".

Should be easier to track down than a clean UK copy.

:thumbsup:

Another thought!

Any fans of Jesse James "Are You Gonna Leave Me" will love this track as its a dead ringer in so many ways!

Now if it was a scarce 45 on a hideously obscure label ... what price the 5 Stairsteps?

Trust me. This is well worth looking out for.

:thumbsup:

JEEZZZZ SEAN

I KNEW I HAD HEARD IT BEFORE .HAVE HAD MP3 OF JESSE JAMES ON COMP SO LONG I FORGOT I HAD IT! :lol:

DONT THINK IT GETS PLAYED OUT ANYWHERE .IF MY MEM SERVES ME RIGHT THIS IS HIS RAREST CHOON AND NOT MANY ABOUT!

ME THINKS I SECURED THE CURTOM LP ,JUST WAITING FOR EMAIL CONFIRMATION.FINGERS CROSSED.
