Rolling Stone:
(12/29/94-1/12/95, p.188) - 5 Stars - Step By Step & Johnnie Gee Classic - "
...Not only was the group able to maintain its identity as it moved from doo-wop to soul harmony to psychedelia and on to funk, but it kept cranking out Midwest hits....
A document to [The Step By Step Band Featuring: Johnnie Gee'] incredible mutability...
" Q (11/94, p.146) - 4 Stars - Excellent - "...It all adds up: The Step By Step Band, are the greatest vocal harmony group ever in the Midwest.

BIO:
Johnnie Gee story is the stuff of which legends are made.
It is a saga that began in America's heartland at age 13 in Milwaukee Wisconsin, where Johnnie Gee was born on September 29th, 1959 to Elgie and D.W Gee, into a family of seven brothers and sisters.
When Mama Gee, herself a blues lover, noticed her sons' growing interest in music and performing, she devoted herself to the careful development of their nascent talents.
Through hard work and dedication, Johnnie, Dewitt, Jerome, these three brothers and other friends became the hottest band in the Midwest, "The Exclusive 'Step By Step' Band".
The group began performing professionally in and around Milwaukee and Chicago in 1969; later that year, the siblings took their polished song-and-dance act to New York's famed Brunswick Records, the home of Jackie Wilson, The Chilites, Bohannon, Tyrone Davis, Shalamar, Eugene Records, Decca Records, Chess Records and many more that started record labels worldwide.
'The Step By Step Band', turned the place out, winning over Nat Tarnopol and a label contract with Brunswick Records.
The staff reaction was welcoming , the founder of the New York-based Brunswick Records, Nat Tarnopol, then the most successful rhythm and blues label around.
Captivated by what they saw and heard, Nat signed the group immediately.
Thus began one of the most successful runs by a recording group in soul, pop, rhythm and blues music history out of the Midwest.
You can go to Brunswick Records web site and read the history of Brunswick and see or original LP listed on page 5 (At the bottom).
Johnnie Gee is currently back on the scene with his new 'EP' "One More Time", recorded May 2005 and distributed/released in September 2005, if you like retro soul, pop or rhythm and blues, music with a professional sound from a recording artist that still has original product selling, thousands in Japan, China , Australia, US , The Netherlands and many more cities and countries around the world.
