Since the Beatles used to cover Motown songs on their first two albums, it's only fair that a R&B group cover one of their songs.....besides this is the best version of "Dear Prudence" i've heard.

On this day in 1970 {March 15th} "Dear Prudence" b/w "O-O-H Child" by the Five Stairsteps entered Billboard's Hot Top 100 chart at position #85; fifteen weeks later on July 12th, 1970 it peaked at #8 {for 2 weeks} and spent 16 weeks on the Top 100... And it reached #14 on Billboard's R&B Singles chart... Between 1966 and 1971 the Chicago soul group had fifteen Top 100 records; eight using the name The Five Stairsteps, six known as The Five Stairsteps and Cubie, and then with their last charted record it was just, The Stairsteps...

+sauquoit13456 "Dear Prudence" peaked in the 60's when djs started flipping the record over and playing the beautiful "Ooh Ooh Child". The label pulled the single, and sent it back out with "Child" as the "A" side. A different "B" side was on this single. I don't know if Buddah ever released "Dear Prudence" as a single again. It IS a great version.

Until I heard this, I thought Alanis Morriset did the best cover of Dear Prudence, even though it was live and not studio. Ooh Child was always a big fav of mine, but it wasn't until today that I checked out more of their catalogue. Thank God I did! THIS is what real music is all about: it hits ur soul, makes you move or it moves you, and you don't want it to end, so you play it again. Louder.

I have on vinyl and .mp3 probably every cover made of this song, and...it's my all time favorite. This is actually my favorite version (including the Beatles which is actually 3rd behind Doug Parkinson's version).
