The coolest - McFadden & Whitehead. The string arrangements, the deep bass pocket, the tight vocals. What a nice song. My lp version - the song comes in at 10:45 on the full lp version whittled down to a lame 3:38 min. for the sing and radio edit. The second half of the song soars with hand claps, a lushly arranged techno-synth wall, and that gorgeous and full signature Philly Sound. It seems to have spawned the Shalamar sound with The Second Time Around. "Ain't No Stoppin' Us Now" is by McFadden & Whitehead, on their debut and eponymous album, photo shown above of my copy. They wrote and produced this along with keyboard player Jerry Cohen. Released from their self-titled (that is the same as eponymous) debut album in 1979, ANSUN spent a week at number one on the R&B singles chart. It was also a successful crossover hit, peaking at number 13 on Billboard's Hopt 100. And topping out at number 5 in the UK. The single also made it to number ten on the disco charts. The bass hook was played by Philadelphia International Records house musician Jimmy Williams. Dig this off the hook edit remix: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=obNZpMmmvO8&feature=related
