#SoulfulSaturday ~ Encorin’ & Steppin’
-April 28th, 2018
Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis’s first, and widely successful production debuted in the winter of 1983. Also, a smash single for R&B/Soul vocalist Cheryl Lynn, the Contemporary R&B/House jam charted at Number 1 on Billboard’s Hot Soul Singles chart in the spring of the following year. Off her 5th released album Preppie, Cheryl performed and dominated this jam, that’s definitely still a crowd-pleaser.
Of course Growns, y’all know we don’t mind taken it back especially if it’s some steppin’ involved. The record was also recorded as a highly popularized dance version, peeking at Number 6 on the Dance Club Songs chart. From the U.K., back over to the U.S this well-noted single deserves a ‘vibe’.
Keep on Dancing Fam!
