One track that wasn't quite a Number One, although at least it is a cover version of one: Diana Ross was of course at the top of the chart 25 years ago next month with the Bee Gees-penned song. It's not a totally comfortable fit for the more dayglo style of Steps, as the lyrical content is actually quite saucy when you listen to it but they don't seem entirely ready to sex-up their image as some comparable acts would at this stage in their career. The one exception is that rather disturbing grunt about 17 seconds in, which it's probably just as well they didn't follow up elsewhere on the record.
The production here is reminiscent of their other big Gibb-sourced hit, 'Tragedy', with a lot of the same percussion effects. If I had to listen to a version of this song (and fortunately I don't most of the time) I think it'd have to be this one. At least it doesn't have the screechy backing vocals.
