Yeah,on the CD that I have,it says that many of these tracks were produced by Curtis Mayfield.I'll have to check it out later today.Some more trivia...in 1980,they "re-invented" themselves into the Invisible Mans' Band and scored a huge hit with "All Night Thing".But you already knew that,right? wink

You got me on that tune. confused

More trivia:
In 1976 they reformed with just 4 and simply called themselves Stairsteps.
Billy Preston introduced them to The Beatles and helped them get a deal on George Harrison's Dark Horse label.
The album 2nd Resurrection was released, produced by Preston and Bob Margouleff.
