those people are sitting there not even giving a shit about the music and im sitting here wishing I was born in that era and can be in front of that beautiful music full of passion and soul.Nobody ever appreciates what they have
Real talk lol
Thank you all for the respect and love for my family..
Len Burke we love your family
Len Burke and thank you and your family for music that will never be forgotten. I so wish it could all happen over again but at least we have CZcams and your recordings
The Stairsteps overflowed with maturity, and polished dignity. With gifted voices, style, presence... all the makings of a quality group. Today's world needs much representation with these kind of qualities, just as you and your family gave us growing up. There will never be another Five Stairsteps, but I pray something comes close to that kind of quality for the future. You all are cherished FOREVERMORE.
Wow, a member of the first family of soul. Before the Jacksons and everyone else. Thank You for setting the path that so many followed Your family opened a lot of doors. Again, thank You.
Forever and a day!! You all earned every ounce of it! October 17 2019. Your music has stood the test of time!!! May God continue to bless you all, as you have blessed!!
Five Stairsteps one of the greatest groups of the 60s. I went to their shows every time
My favorite group when I was 14, seeing the Five Stairsteps perform at the Uptown, in Philly. Several times. Amazing.
Damn back in the day there kids made some bad ass music kids now can't do this
Yes they did
The entire group were children. nobody older than 16-18 or so.
One of the best groups ever!!! Five Stairstepss. Yes!!!! I saw the in person at the Uptown in Philly in the day!!!
This song is still touching and I'm in my late sixties...was in my early teens when I first heard this song.
What a beautiful beautiful sweet family!!
The contrast between young artists back in the 60s and 70s and young artists now is so huge. This family had a lot of talent and class.
And remember boys and girls, this was before all the wonderful technology of today that can make you SOUND like you have talent,,,, lesson over
The 5 Stairsteps harmony was incomparable. Nobody could sing that 6 part harmony like them, acoustically, if they had to. Well before DeBarge!
Killer early 60's soul. Love it. Curtis Mayfield's style all over it.
Cutie. Was the best singer. The family did the deal. 6 part harmony.
I seen them sing in person. Several times back in the 60s. Amazing
I've always liked the Five Stairsteps ... their voices soooo beautiful!
Black lights in the basement..NYC! Best days of my life and didn't even know it! Thanks for the memories!
He was sososo sososo sososo fantastic
This Group and the Mad Lads out of Memphis Tn. were the Baddest. Both SHOULD BE INDUCTED into the ROCK AND ROLL HALL OF FAME.
This is a pretty song. Singers with Soul.
The audio recording can't even capture that range! What an amazing song. Those people hanging off the pier will never even understand the magic they witnessed.
He was sososo sososo sososo amazing
i was only 1 year old, i got to ask my mommy to she rember this grup she was a wild one they tell me back in her day
Thanks for posting this. This finally makes clear why they are called the 5 Stairsteps. Wow! What a treat when youth and talent meet!
I love their song oo child and i like this song and im 13 years old
Curtis Mayfield was insanely talented!! What he did with this family is amazing!!!
What a musical era this was!!!! Man, I miss it......
THE BURKES FIRST FAMILY OF SOUL (ALWAYS) You can't give a title and take it back.
GREAT SONG AND VOCALS, AWLFUL FILM LOCALE AND TIRED AUDIENCE!!.
ALL NIGHT THING IS MY NATIONAL ANTHEM, THOSE WERE THE DAYS, PARTY ALL NIGHT LONG, UNTIL THE BREAK OF DAWN>>>

I remember my father listining to this :) Such a great memories .
One of my favorite brings back good memories.
I watched the Five Stairsteps perform at the Uptown in Philadelphia, when I was about 12 or 13. Amazing group.
Noonie, omg.....this takes me way back... such fond and joyous memories...sheer sweet music...blessings to the Burke family...
This music was like manna from heaven, nurishing the soul of us young brothers enlisted in the military back in the mid to late 60's. Without it, God only know how difficult and unbearable life would have been. Beautiful!
I like this kind of music.
I was fortunate to see this group perform back in the day at the Howard Theatre in Washington, D.C. They were awesome and very young. They performed like adults and their choreography was amazing. In fact, their choreography and singing was a whole lot better than the Jacksons.
My uncle said he saw the m there too. I envy you both (LOL)
Heavy Gratitude
Best all time kiddie group
if you look at the clip the little guy on the end is Kenni Burke you remember his jam "Keep rising to the Top"
one of my FAVOTRITE groups on the planet!! i've taught my daughter about the music of my day, so she can have an appreciation of what "real" music was like.
Is it safe to say I’m 28 and love oldies I love them to Motown I was literally born in the wrong years lol
times were simple.. we stood around hot in the summer. for those of us in the groove, we loved folks as such coming from the inner city. they delivered music like no other. catching these kats gave me freedom.
Yes it most certainly is ❤😌👆🏾
My MOMS Favorite Group when She was growing Up in the Mid 60's. Was a Hugh Fan of the Five Staristeps. Thier songs are timeless. OHH Child is a classic. I like theier classic Like U wanted to Long, World of Fanstay and theier remake on a classic Beatles or Smokey Robinson Song. I rather listen to the 5 Stair Steps than Toadys Crap.
This is ridiculously Good!!
So many great memories for such a freakin' fantastic group with such beautiful voices.
I love their music!@
He was sososo sososo sososo untouchable
I love his style
This is music. This is my favorite Stairstep song. Love Curtis Mayfield artistry R.I.P.
The First Family Of Soul. Before the Jackson 5, and they came from Curtis Mayfield.
Outstanding! Thanks for posting!
This is 1 of my mother's favorite song

You're right it was during this time period..:)
His voice expresses so much feeling you could get cut on it. Kudos to the Five Stairsteps and C. Mayfield. Elisa
He was a amazing
pure voice and wonderful words
Great stuff, I remember them as The Five Stairsteps with Cubbie, and this one was a particular fave, dancing cheek to cheek with my sweetie at the CYO and HS dances...aaaahhhhhhh!
The Jackson 5 and the Five Stair Steps used to compete in the talent shows at the Regal Theater in Chicago. The talent shows came after the main show (The Miracles, Jerry Butler, etc.) The Jacksons always won, but they were all fun to watch. Great times...
I remember this song I haven't heard this song in years
No body can't never ever take his place
great group I remember this show it was really good thanks for sharing
Thats a fucken classic track right there..
He was sosososo pure
Little Keni Burke was 13 here. And he wrote the song too !!
I would go to see them whenever they came to Newark, NJ.
He kill this jam
WOW, i swear if it wasnt for you tube,smh.. I grew up in a soulmusic household from motown to british invasion to John Coltrane. It took for me to read comments on the Sylvers video to discover this beautiful sounding famiy. Thank you.
R.I.P Soul brother Clarence
5 Stairsteps should have been as big as the Jacksons!
Clarence Jr had great emotion. Their like the teenage version of the Platters. Very mature sound, which I loved. Some like the Jackson Five, some like The Five Stairsteps, it all has to do with taste. I think the Stairsteps just needed more exposure and publicity and they would have been up there with the Jackson Five. The Stairsteps never did Ed Sullivan Show or American Bandstand, which was important for every artist to do to be able to cross-over, that's what helped The Jackson Five.
MusicandDancing4Ever I agree. Especially with Curtis Mayfield helping them, writing some of their songs. Awesome group.
I REMEMBER THE 5 STAIR STEPS WALKING AND SINGING ON A SHOW BACK IN THE 60S BUT I DON'T NO WHAT SHOW IT WAS , IT COULD BE THE TWO THAT ARE SHOW ON YOUTOUB, IT IS MENTIONED THAT THEY PERFORMED ON WHERE THE ACTION IS, BUT DO THEY SHOW THAT EPOSODE, I LIKE TO SEE THAT SHOW IF ITS AROUND.
They were talented, but the problem with this group was that they had poor musical direction. By contrast, the J-5 were given the proper direction, with Gordy and others writing hit material and others at Motown effectively promoting the group to the public. The Stairsteps sang material which just wasn't commercial enough, and the way they were presented to the public, dressed in such vapid stage outfits, just wasn't appealing. Had they went to Motown, they probably would have been just as successful as the J-5.
joe jones What you hating on them for?
Well stated. Ed Sullivan should have had them on the show.
lawd have mercy. The Five Stairsteps!
Wow. What a great archive. Thanks.
You're still in time to enjoy and you're on the best place to find and get the magic.. so join me and lots of others and have fun.
Thank you, just a reflection on times past compared to the vile, horrendous, sexual immoral modern times and people wonder what our world is coming to!
Had to see them at the uptown.
RIP Clarence.
Amen
You waited too long! I couldn't go on!
I had to get a music copy on my iPod play list. This and a few others of their hits
Clarence Burke Jr. and hopefully some other originals will be part of the 5th Annual Classic R&B weekend in The Poconos (Pa.) November 11 to 13, 2011. Others on the huge Saturday show include The Dramatics, Atlantic Starr, Blue Magic, Slave, and D-Train. Fernwood Hotel and Resort in Bushkull Pa. A weekend of activities with a live concert on saturday November 12th
They was singing much older than their ages
Oh rub it in why don't you lol....I'm 28, but I'm glad that my mother and my uncles exposed me to good oldies music like this.
Sounds like a Young Curtis Mayfield
@ElChupanebre2 good ear my friend. yes they sang on mayfield's record label and were influenced by the man. fred cash was a neighbor of the burkes. that is how the group got introduced to mayfield.
is this the same group that made "oooh child?"
+Gerry Thiboudeaux yes
Yes, it is!!
Yes
nown dis is real music!!
Why do we have to compare them to anybody, why can't it just be that they were a family group that made good music, why must the Jacksons be brought up every single time?? This group is a little before my time, but not the Jacksons and I can distinguish between the two, just enjoy the music..
Tough times.CHICANOS WERE WITH YOU.
