Sampled by many, most famously by M&S Presents The Girl Next Door back in 2000; a cracking dance tune in and of itself, but not the reason we're here today. Now, the original is by Double Exposure, a Philadelphia-based act (who were originally called 'United Image' back in the 1960s) that recorded on the iconic Salsoul label.
On December 11, 1975, at Sigma Sound Studios in Philadelphia, PA, Double Exposure began recording what would become one of the most successful albums ever to come out of the Philly music empire.
Their 1976 album Ten Percent featured a pair of major club hits, with the title track's remix by Walter Gibbons being the first commercially available 12-inch single. and the other track Everyman (Has To Carry His Own Weight).
The group are currently, as of September 2008, recording new material, including an Eli/Dixon/Green composition called Soul Rece$$ion at Eli's 'Studio E' facility in Philadelphia. Some original Salsoul/Philly/TSOP (The Sound of Philadelphia)/MFSB (Gamble and Huff) session musicians appeared on Soul Rece$$ion, including Earl Young (drummer), Bobby Eli, Dennis Harris, T G Conway, Jimmy Williams & Rikki Hicks.
