Stepping didn’t gain a real foothold until local station WBMX started playing two particular records by artist Jeffree, “Love’s Gonna Last”, and “Mr. Fix-It” in the mid to late 1970s. Neither song was a major Billboard R&B chart hit (“Mr. Fix-It” made it to #53, “Love’s Gonna Last” didn’t chart) but they perfectly complemented the newest version of the Chicago Step. In a classic case of a dance making a record a (local) hit, due to the massive request and playing of “Love’s Gonna Last” on WBMX, it is now considered the ultimate “stepper’s cut”.
