The Five Stairsteps, known as "The First Family of Soul" and later "The Invisible Man's Band", 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 "O o h Child", listed at number 402 on [[List of Rolling Stone's 500 Greatest Songs of All Time|''Rolling Stones 500 Greatest Songs of All Time]]. History
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 children of Betty and Clarence Burke, the Five Stairsteps, named by Mrs. Burke who thought her children looked like stair steps when lined up according to their age, featured lead singer Clarence Jr. (May 25, 1949 – May 26, 2013), 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. After winning first prize in a talent contest at the Regal Theater, the Five Stairsteps received recording contract offers. A close neighbor and family friend was Fred Cash of the Impressions, who introduced the group to Curtis Mayfield. In early 1970, the group released their biggest hit, "O o h Child" (written by Stan Vincent), The record sold over one million copies, and received a gold disc awarded by the Recording Industry Association of America in August 1970. The B side of the single, a cover of Lennon–McCartney's "Dear Prudence", charted at number 49 R&B. Both songs were included on the group's 1970 album Stairsteps. Later that year, the group's first compilation, Step by Step by Step, was released. The Five Stairsteps appeared in the 1970 film The Isley Brothers Live at Yankee Stadium, a documentary of a benefit concert filmed at the home of the New York Yankees featuring the Isley Brothers, the Brooklyn Bridge and other Buddah affiliated artists. The following year, the group resurfaced as The Stairsteps''' with two charting singles: "Didn't It Look So Easy" and "I Love You Stop". He was survived by his wife, Crystal, and five children. Cubie Burke died May 14, 2014, in Smyrna, Georgia, at the age of 49. In addition to his parents and remaining siblings, he was survived by his daughter, DeCoda, and a granddaughter.

Чикаго тобы бес жыл бойы хит-парадтарда сәтті жұмыс істегендіктен "Соулдың бірінші отбасы" деп аталды. Кейін бұл атау Jackson 5 тобына берілді. Бастапқыда Бетти мен Кларенс Берктің балаларынан құралған бес мүшелі аға-інілер мен апа-қарындастар тобы, Беш баспалдақ деп аталды, атауын миссис Берк берді, ол балаларын жасына қарай тізіп қойғанда, олар баспалдақтарға ұқсайтынын ойлады. Топтың жетекші әншісі Кларенс кіші (25 мамыр 1949 – 26 мамыр 2013), Алохе, Джеймс, Деннис және 13 жасар Кеннет ("Кени") болды. Мүшелердің көпшілігі Харлан орта мектебінде оқыды. Кларенс аға Чикаго полициясының детективі болды. Ол топты бас гитарада сүйемелдеді, басқарды және Кларенс кішімен және Грегори Фаулермен бірге әндер жазды. Regal театрында өткен таланттар байқауында бірінші орын алғаннан кейін Five Stairsteps-ке жазу шарты ұсынылды. Жақын көрші және отбасы досы Фред Кэш (The Impressions тобынан), топты Кертис Мейфилдке таныстырды. 1970 жылдың басында топ өзінің ең үлкен хиті "O o h Child" әнін шығарды (авторы Стен Винсент). Жазба бір миллионнан астам дана сатылды және 1970 жылдың тамызында Америка жазба индустриясы қауымдастығынан алтын диск алды. Синглдің B жағы, Леннон-Маккартнидің "Dear Prudence" әнінің кавері, R&B хит-парадында 49-орында тұрды. Екі ән де топтың 1970 жылғы "Stairsteps" альбомына енді. Сол жылы топтың алғашқы жинағы "Step by Step by Step" жарық көрді. The Five Stairsteps 1970 жылы "The Isley Brothers Live at Yankee Stadium" фильмінде пайда болды, бұл New York Yankees командасының үй стадионында түсірілген Isley Brothers, Brooklyn Bridge және басқа да Buddah компаниясымен байланысты әртістердің қатысуымен өткен қайырымдылық концерті туралы деректі фильм. Келесі жылы топ The Stairsteps деп қайта құрылды және екі хит-парадқа енді: "Didn't It Look So Easy" және "I Love You Stop". Ол әйелі Кристал және бес баласынан қалды. Куби Берк 2014 жылдың 14 мамырында 49 жасында Джорджия штатының Смирна қаласында қайтыс болды. Ата-анасы мен қалған бауырларынан басқа, ол қызы Декода мен немересін қалдырды. Оның өлімі ми травмасымен байланысты деген болжам бар, қызы Декоданың айтуынша, ол бұл жарақатты алты жыл бұрын алған. Дин Гант 2020 жылдың 25 сәуірінде Атланта аймағындағы ауруханада 67 жасында қайтыс болды. Кларенс Берк аға 2020 жылдың 16 шілдесінде, 91 жасқа толуға бір күн қалғанда Атланта аймағындағы ауруханада қайтыс болды. Джеймс Берк 2021 жылдың 19 ақпанында 70 жасында пневмониядан қайтыс болды.
