Rare Steppers Jam Ron Isley - Deeper (1992)

This rare gem was released in August of 1992 on the original soundtrack to the film "BeBe's Kids" which was an animated movie based on the never seen fictional character "BeBe" (and her extremely bad children) which are characters that were created by legendary comedian Robin Harris, & frequently referred to in his act. There was also a standup comedy CD released with the same name.

Sadly, Mr. Harris died in his sleep of a heart attack at the age of 36 at a Chicago hotel on March 18, 1990 after performing earlier that evening. Mr. Harris died on the eve of the final edit of what was to be his first comedy album, & had passed away long before this movie was done. The voice of his character "Robin" was played by actor/comedian Faizon Love aka "Big Worm" in the movie "Friday."

I was fortunate enough to have had the opportunity to meet Robin Harris at O'Hare airport in Chicago on the day before his untimely death. I was a contract worker for United at the time & was almost running to the office to punch in because I was running late when his assistant asked me for directions. Mr. Harris was a very kind man & took a moment out of his time to talk to me on that day. I can still picture him looking around the airport in awe of it's size.

[kacobb11]

@isley12 This was a sleeper. The soundtrack as a whole didn't really do well & for the most part went un-noticed except in my native Chicago where "steppin" was a way of life, & this being the perfect steppers jam quickly hit it big in the area & became a part of every DJ's rotation.

Glad that you found something new. Enjoy!
