A Chicago classic, not heard too many djs outside the Chi and London play this.

Classic stepping song

The fact that these guys weren’t more popular in the 90s is beyond me. These songs were some of my favorites growing up.

I wish she would’ve seen success and Soul Parade was officially released.

I had her first album and wore it out! Sure wish she got another chance...

This whole album is dope but I’m going to post this one some from it.. The album is called Ice Cream Everyday abc it’s from Amel Larrieux. Puts me in the mind of her Groove Theory stuff



I love Les Nubians and wish they were bigger in America.



Played this album every night for a straight year when I went to bed lol. I can’t sleep without music


This might be too big of a hit for the post but I bought this album for Jump and was pleasantly surprised at how great the whole thing is. I never knew this was the Pointer Sisters.


Again may be too big but I feel like more people might know let the music play more than this.

LOL! Forreal.

I’m surprised that some people on here know who they are. I was on a another forum and posted both of these songs.. and had no response. But you guys are real ones of course. :D

I was able to find a copy of Soul Parade on the web not too long ago and that album is awesome. Probably one of the best of the past decade even though it never got a proper release.
