  • Thumbs up if B.o.B., Big K.R.I.T. & Bun B brought you here

  • @jtr71886 that's horrible. J Dilla made this even more memorable. Not them.

  • I like this song and It's sung with soooo much soul.

  • I actually love this song to death, I remember saturday mornings playing the record and cleaning the house so that we could go outside and play. Things were so simple back then, back before the term politically correct. Great post! The impression actually sang it first, but the 5 stairsteps version is better.

  • this song takes me back just love it

  • i do hope that you'll agere

  • this song reminds me that music was much better then nowadays, i miss this times

  • Such talent. I love this song.

  • Ghost Face sampled this beat for a song on Supreme clientel

  • Every time I hear this I thank God I'm alive.

  • One of my favorite songs from 1969. Written and produced by Curtis Mayfield. Arranged by Donny Hathaway.

  • my favorite by the group. 

  • For those of you who don't know, Dilla sampled the Impressions' version, not this one.

  • OMG OMG LOVE J DILLA, im flipping out right now

  • JDee!

  • This brings back so many wonderful memories. I use to go see the five stairsteps every time they came to Newark New Jersey back in the late

    sixties early seventies. The stairsteps was one of my favorite groups

  • Try a site called Soul Patrol, it's a music site that keeps up with all of the old school groups. They just did a piece on the 5 Stairsteps.

  • We MUST be in LOVE. J Dilla bringing life to old tracks :)

  • where does it say this is produced by j dilla?

    i cant see it

  • Yes he did, that's whay J Dilla was one of the underground masters because he knew his musiq.

  • J DILLA WE MUST BE IN LOVE

  • ok im stuck the version the impressions did sounds better. even though it's no difference in the beat. i guess curtis mayfield sounds better

  • As you must know, Curtis was very instrumental in most of the Steps early work. You are hearing great young voices and comparing them to the great Curtis. Listen to some of the other Stairsteps songs and you could add Curtis voice and hear the connection . In other words, " it was all good" with that connection. Just a thought

  • oh mos def. i agree. see stairsteps did some great songs like the classic ooh child and my favorite dont change your love. i was stuck because i didnt know they sang it too.

  • i love this song. from ciaira lyn & Jadyn

  • Classic mid-tempo soul. I love it. Does anyone know their song called 'tell me why' I think it was called. That would be a great post. This is a song I am surprised hasn't been sampled a lot more than it has. Great chorus and infectious baseline with big strings and horns. SOUL MUSIC.

  • I have the Album "2nd Resurrection" and It is on there. When I dig out and set up my turntable ( recent move) I may post it and some of the other great songs from that album like "In the Beginning"

  • OOOOOOOOO-yeah!!! Garage parties and gettin my Cha-cha on!! Great posting!!! Thanks a ton!

  • Yeaaaaaaahh!!!!

  • This is an undisputed classic !!! anyone who knows anything about music will tell you exactly that....a true soul gem. peace to all music lovers.

  • One of my favorite jams by the Stairsteps.

    Right on!

  • "DON'T CHANGE YOUR LOVE" was a great song they did too.

  • I remember this one too! :-) Thanks

  • J Dilla and Pharoah did a nice rendition of this song.

  • @Bloodsport1 they used the impressions version

  • This is right up there with the Impressions! Superb!

  • another Donuts sample! thanks for this!
