Hope (I'm sure) youll pay tribute in sitting in the park show Bob, his fans over here in UK will definitely appreciate it.

One of my musical heroes dating from my first trip to  the Soul City shop in 1968 and buying the Five Stairsteps Windy C LP there. Loved it and was a big fan of

most of the group's stuff from then on.

So sad for the Burke family. 

Hope (I'm sure) youll pay tribute in sitting in the park show Bob, his fans over here in UK will definitely appreciate it.

Popular over here in Japan as well...the band enjoyed a bunch of 7" and a couple of LP releases back in the day. 'Stay Close To Me' still sounds good to my ears, as does the huge production mid tempo number, "Under The Spell".

RIP Clarence

So great !

Sad news indeed  RIp Clarence

 

Condolences to him & his family

Listening to Bobas tribute - I forgot how good Clarence Burke was! RIP

I love the Stairsteps. So many great records of theirs played on the northern scene. Chicago's answer to the Jackson Five, and in many ways better, especially with Curtis Mayfield behind them. RIP Clarence Burke.
