The Steelers - Get It From The Bottom

Chicago Soul from 1969. This record hit in Chicago and Pittsburgh. Perhaps the group name helped get it started in Pgh. Produced in Chi-Town by Al Smith and Calvin Carter this track was leased to Date Records. Another nice track from a city that never seems to get the recognition for the great Soul music it created. It's gratifying to see that The Steelers are still out there performing today, as they did at the Chicago Music Awards Show in January '08. Bless you guys. Keep it going.

I briefly sang with all three of the Wells brothers (George, Wes and "Cool") during the late eighties. I was brought to the group by my brother and friend, Wales Wallace. We recorded two songs, while I was with them. One being "Duckies" and the other "Ain't No Joke When It Comes To Dope". Both produced by Tom Tom 84. Wales died in 1998. I miss my buddy very much.

This was also BIG on WKNR in Detroit Every time I listen to this I think back to the fall of 1969 and listening to this in my 64 Mercury

Guess that answered my question!! Great song, and this Date 45 is still in my repertoire -goes perfect with (I like to mix decades) Claudja Barry's (1976) "Why Must a Girl Like Me." Thank you for posting this and sharing it!! DAVEDJ
