The 7" mix of that is somehow even more powerful, while being a fair bit shorter. I used to have daydreams of Mark Lanegan covering it in some grimy industrial funk-grunge manner, a la his Bubblegum LP. Feel the gospel apocalypse vibe of the lyric would suit him.

Steppin' is probably my favourite Pointer Sisters album, uneven like many of their best records - I never really want to hear their old timey songs, but How Long (Betcha Got A Chick On The Side) is like some intense Norman Whitfield epic, all slow build and tonnes of space. And Chainey Do is fierce as fuck - that constantly shifting rhythm, that rib-shaking, razor-sharp tribal funk.

Not to mention this sublime Stevie Wonder collab, which has that dreamy, other-worldly vibe of the ballads off Fulfillingness First Finale

This is off the next album, another Stevie collaboration, and in that amazingly sweet Latin funk pocket he was in for a fair chunk of the 70s. The Pointers' band was just ridiculously tight and loose back then, absolutely the match for their vocals.
