“O-o-h Child” #8 7/18/1970

Yet another instance of the original B-side becoming the hit. The A-side, a remake of the Beatles’ “Dear Prudence” stalled out, but radio stations in Philadelphia and Detroit turned the 45 over and the record took off. The Five Stairsteps didn’t care as long as they succeeded. Billy Preston eventually introduced them to George Harrison, who later in the 70’s signed them to his label.
