The underground of Chicago explodes in the mainstream – as Rhino offers the world a dozen soul tunes lifted from the city's hot steppers scene of the past 10 years. (Never mind the fact that by the time this one came out from Rhino, the stepping scene in the city was not what it had been years before!) Forget the packaging of the material, though, and focus on the fact that the set's just a great batch of mellow soul tracks – including "Be Thankful For What You Got" by William DeVaughn, "The Fruit Song" by Jeannie Reynolds, "This Feeling's Killing Me" by The Jones Girls, "Staten Island Groove" by Down To The Bone", "Teach Me (Something About Love)" by Blue Magic, "Mr Smooth" by Michael Franks, "Key To The World" by LJ Reynolds, "Life In The Country" by The Ebonys, "Soft & Easy" by The Blackbyrds, and "In & Out Of Love" by Patti Austin.
