Originally from their 1967 single "Danger She's A Stranger". The Five Stairsteps, known as 'The First Family of Soul', were an American Chicago soul group made up of five of Betty and Clarence Burke Sr.'s six children: Alohe Jean, Clarence Jr., James, Dennis, and Kenneth "Keni", and briefly, Cubie. They are best known for the 1970 song "Ooh Child", listed #392 on Rolling Stone's 500 Greatest Songs of All Time. The Chicago group was dubbed 'First Family of Soul' because of their successful five-year chart run; the moniker was later passed on to the Jackson 5. Initially a teenage five-member brothers and sister vocal group made up of the offspring of Betty and Clarence Burke, the Five Stairsteps (named by Mrs. Burke who thought her kids looked like stair steps when lined up according to their age) featured lead singer Clarence Jr., Alohe, James, Dennis, and 13-year-old Kenneth ("Keni"). Most of the members attended Harlan High School. Clarence Sr. was a detective for the Chicago Police Department. He backed the group on bass guitar, managed them, and co-wrote songs with Clarence Jr. and Gregory Fowler.. + Informações

He backed the group on bass guitar, managed them, and co-wrote songs with Clarence Jr. and Gregory Fowler. After winning first prize in a talent contest at the Regal Theater, the Five Stairsteps were beset with recording contract offers. A close neighbor and family friend was Fred Cash of The Impressions, who introduced the group to Curtis Mayfield. Signed to Mayfield's Windy City imprint, which was distributed by the Philadelphia based Cameo Parkway record label, their first single was Gregory Fowler's penned ballad "You Waited Too Long" b/w "Don't Waste Your Time," a Mayfield song. A double-sided hit in Chicago, the A-side, "You Waited Too Long," charted number 16 in the Billboard R&B chart in spring of 1966. Around the end of 1967, Cameo-Parkway folded and Windy C switched to Buddah Records through former Cameo-Parkway executive Neil Bogart, who joined the new label as co-president .... + Informações

Chicago's 'First Family of Soul', the Five Stairsteps hit the charts in '66 and hit and hit again with some of the finest records to come out of that city. This song is from the 'Family Portrait' album and was not released as a single that I know of. I could hardly explain why, as it's another in a long line of super mid-tempo tracks that this great group produced. From 1967, produced in Chi-Town and released on Buddah, enjoy a record that deserves more listens. The Fave Five.. + Informações

Enjoy the 5 stairsteps. One of my favorite groups.. + Informações

The First Family of Soul. This track was the flip to 'Ooh Baby Baby', and is just too cool to be ignored. Never seem to see this one on any collections, but it should be there. A Curtis Mayfield stamp is all over this one, it to me it says 'Chicago Soul'! Pookie loves this cut. Let me know what you think. The Burke family made some awesome music.. + Informações
