The Five Stairsteps - You Waited Too Long

Thanks for the post, great memories!

teh jackson 5 and micheal were great in their time as were the five stairsteps. everyone has there time on this earth. both groups share a special place in my heart

I thing that seperate the Stairsteps from the Jacksons is the fact that the Stairsteps were writing their own songs while being produced by Curtis Mayfield. They family was tight thanks to Papa Burke who was a Chicago Detective.

"You Waited Too Long," charted number 16 in the Billboard R&B chart in spring of 1966.
The Chicago group was dubbed 'First Family of Soul' .
Invisible Man's Band. Featured on this self-titled debut, released in 1980 by Island Records, was the heavily discofied hit, "All Night Thing,"
1982's Changes, yielded his biggest solo hit, "Risin' to the Top," which peaked at number 63 R&B in late summer 1982. "Risin' to the Top" has been sampled by Doug E. Fresh ("Keep Risin' to the Top"),

One of the greatest family groups of all time.

2:18 nottz sampled this on little brother- life of the party

I did, but then there was competition between those two groups. but any how the jackson 5 bust out. the world fell in love and so this I...and you know the rest of the story.
