THE FIVE STAIRSTEPS :: SUNDAY MUSIC

As you already know from reading this Blog, Sunday is Old Soul day around my house. Playing classic's on this day always reminds of being a kid. My dad was a huge Stairsteps fan and I recall hearing their LP's 24/7. The Group paved the way for the Jackson Five. Timing in live is everything. The Jackson Five went on to national and international fame and the Five Stair Steps went on to obscurity, but at least they are on Wikipedia.

THE FIVE STAIRSTEPS - DANGER! SHE'S A STRANGE
THE FIVE STAIRSTEPS - YOU WAITED TO LONG

OMNI :: DONT BE SELFISH

The group were one of the few last links in the Chicago soul scene at the time – and they've got a good harmony sound that hearkens back to mid 70s work by groups like The Chi-Lites or Windy City. Most tracks are in the midtempo range, with a fair bit of synthesizer and keyboard work – but the vocals are still the strongest part of the record, and they're allowed to shine nicely.





The Lyrics on this tune say it all!!!!


OMNI - DONT BE SELFISH
