Curtis Hairston’s run for stardom began when he signed to  Pretty Pearl Records  (a venture launched by his old school friend and pro-baller Earl "The Pearl" Monroe) at just 21. With Timmy Regisford and Boyd Jarvis  involved the label spared no expense, and after a few moderately successful singles, this track finally blew things open—particularly in the UK, where it sold strongly throughout 1985. That same year Hairston lent his vocals to B.B. & Q. Band’s  Genie  LP (still via Pretty Pearl) and began work on his only solo album, the brilliant self-titled  Curtis Hairston  (1986) on Atlantic Records. Still, for many,  I Want Your Lovin’  remains the most enduring snapshot of Hairston’s quiet but essential contribution to R&B history.
