Gavin Christopher – One Step Closer To You (US 12″)

Burning The Ground Exclusive 1986

“One Step Closer to You” is a 1986 hit written by the then-budding songwriting/production team of Carl Sturken and Evan Rogers, along with singer/musician – and later noted soundtrack songwriter – Jeff Pescetto and former Linx frontman David Grant. The song became the only Top 40 Pop hit for noted R&B/Hip hop singer-songwriter/producer Gavin Christopher, peaking at #22.

The song first appeared (titled simply “One Step Closer”) as an album track on the self-titled debut album from singer Marilyn Martin, released in early 1986. Later in 1986, Christopher released his own version of the song.

Christopher’s version soon cracked the top-ten on the Dance charts and the top 25 on both the Pop (#22) and R&B charts (#25). It was the biggest hit of his career.

The basic rhythm structure, bass-line, and tempo of Christopher’s version bear a striking similarity to that of Michael Jackson’s hit, “The Way You Make Me Feel” from his Bad album, which was released the following year.

SIDE A:
One Step Closer To You (Club Version) 7:40
One Step Closer To You (Acapella Plus) 4:24

One Step Closer To You (Short Version) 4:26
One Step Closer To You (Instrumental) 5:46
