I heard today’s musical talent on SiriusXM. It was the name of the group that spurred my curiosity. The volume was muted and didn’t recognize the song title. On YouTube, I found a playlist by the band. The first song on the list was the one on the radio that I couldn’t hear but instantly knew it.
The Five Stairsteps are known as the first family of soul originated in Chicago, Illinois. When I say family, I really mean this was a family act with mom, dad, and their six children. The song they are best known for is the song playing that day on the radio, “O-o-h Child”. The song came out in 1970 peaking #8 on the Pop Singles chart. Rolling Stones’ 500 Greatest Songs of All Times at #402.
According to Wiki the Five Stairsteps act came to an end in the late 70s. In ’78, Clarence Jr teamed up with New York producer to form the Invisible Man’s Band. The new group was made up of Clarence Jr and his brothers: Keni, James, and Dennis along with keyboardist Dean Grant and drummer Steve Ferrone. The IVB released two albums 1980 self-titled and in 1981 Really Wanna See You. All Night Thing is the only song that did well for the group, reaching #9 on the R&B singles chart . Here they are on Soul Train perform their hit song. I barely remember it.
That’s it for this Saturday. Tomorrow, I’ll be back with Monday’s Music Moves Me on Sunday boogieing to bird themed songs or bird named bands/artists and I’m saving a dance for you, so come join me on the dance floor. 
Have a songsational Saturday! x💋x💋, Cathy
