The Five Stairsteps - You Can't See

The Five Stairsteps exploded on the soul scene with some great Windy C releases produced by Curtis Mayfield. 'You Can't See' along with 'Change Of Face' seem to be the only sides that don't get a lot of attention. This is a good mid-tempo song that deserves better. Recorded late '66, maybe early '67, it was coupled with 'I Can't Rest', another nice piece of Windy City Soul. I've always preferred this side. Tell me what you think.

Have you ever heard of one of their songs named. It's just a matter of time. I think it was one of their first.

I like a lot of B sides too. This is one of my favorite Stairstep Songs.

I wish I could hear "Ain't Gonna Rest".
