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!

A BIG THANKS FOR ALL YOUR INFO AND REALLY GLAD YOU GUYS AGREE, WHAT A FANTASTIC SOUND THIS IS .

DID'NT KNOW WETHER IT WAS GETTING PLAYS AND TO BE HONEST I WAS LISTENING TO "THE ARCADES-THERES GOT TO BE A LOSER" AND THOUGHT.WHERE THE F**K DO I KNOW THAT TUNE FROM

I MANAGED TO WORK OUT THE SONG I KNEW WAS CALLED "I'M THE ONE WHO LOVES YOU" BUT WHEN I HEARD THIS 5 STAIRSTEPS( ALTHOUGH IT STILL WAS'NT THE ONE I KNEW ) I THOUGHT YES THATS THE BEST VERSION (IMHO).

STILL DOES'NT HELP ME GETTING HOLD OF A COPY THOUGH

CHEERS

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.

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.

Sean

dont forget Jerry Butlers early version on Vee Jay (1962).......

Nice One Nev,

A Top Choon if Ever...!

I bought The 5 Stairsteps Greatest Hits cd (Sequel 696) just to get this track on the strength of Sean's plays at Yarmouth, many other great tracks by the way. This should keep you going until the LP arrives.

Thanks Blake.

Keep on plugging the quality Mate!

How about this version pulled out of my box. A 60's Pop beat to it but still quite a good version IMO.

Paramounts on Parlaphone.
