A few weeks ago I found a copy of Five Special’s “Why Leave Us Alone” while diggin through crates of records. I had previously never heard of this track, so I didn’t know what to expect, however with one listen I knew I found a soul flavored disco gem. I wondered why I’d never of heard this track until recently, specially after doing some research and finding that this single broke the top ten of the R & B charts back in 1979 and was also a favorite of Paradise Garage’s Larry Levan. This detroit based group only lasted for a few years during the late 70’s with little success, however, not before putting out a solid dancefloor classic in “Why Leave Us Alone”.
