MUSIC THAT MATTERS – “Lyric of the Day”

(Music Cut #1)

On June 30th, 1990…
this song stepped all the way to number one.

New Kids on the Block
with “Step by Step.”

(Music Cut #2)

But before it became

one of their biggest hits,

“Step by Step”

was basically

a hand-me-down.

(Music Cut #3)

Maurice Starr

first gave the song

to another group he worked with:

The Superiors.

Their version came out in 1987

on Motown…

and went nowhere.

Three years later,

New Kids on the Block

took it

to number one.
