14:31 PMThe Five Stairsteps were formed in Chicago in 1965 and comprised of Betty and Clarence Burke family members Clarence Jr., James, Aloha, Kenneth and Dennis. They got their name when "Momma Stairsteps" (as Betty Burke was affectionately called) noticed that her kids looked like stair steps when stood next to each other according to age. Their 1970 hit single, "O-o-h Child," was written by producer Stan Vincent.
