The Chi-Lites - "Stop What You're Doin'"

Here's a nice cut by the Chi-Lites that I picked up a few weeks ago, and has been stuck in my head since. Even in 1984, most of the group's songs were being written by Eugene Record, but this single from the Steppin' Out LP was penned by Amir Bayyan, who was responsible for some other great boogie tracks such as Larry Wu's sublime "Let Me Show You" and "You Gotta Get Up" by Majik. I like the instrumental first verse of this 12" mix.

"Stop What You're Doin'" made it to 33 on the R 'n B charts.
