The Next Movement

The Next Movement were a Chicago R&B vocal group formed in 1971, whose 1980 album, The Next Movement, plays like a last luscious delight, appearing in the waning years of Chicago soul. The midtempo groover "Never Stop Dancing" received radio play in Chicago and other markets. Working with music vet Gus Redmond, Next Movement had their only Billboard single, the smooth dance number "All I Do," issued on the Navarre-distributed Nuance label in 1994. The group's release on New York-based Prelude Records, "Let's Work It Out," became a club hit and a dance classic. During the '90s, Japanese label P-Vine reissued their 1980 LP on CD as Never Stop Dancing. "Let's Work It Out" can be found on Star Funk, Vol. 16 and Rare Preludes, Vol. 3.
