FIRST TIME HEARING The Five Stairsteps - O-o-h Child REACTION

[@nonenone3257]

They were all siblings. "Five Stairsteps" meant they were so close in age that when they lined up by height it looked like they were standing on steps. Hope that makes sense.

[@amberamlie7568]

I could have written this, yes and amen to it all. We all need to see how important these boys’ lives are. With the notion of BLM, once you get personal, and see their enthusiasm for literally 100 years of music, and see their love for helping others, it just means more, and puts a face to the movement. Also, how open they are to embracing all types of music. Their open-mindedness is inspiring and we all have a lot to learn from their lead. I will also admit that I’ve binge-watched them since Thursday!

Esther you're on it. I saw Jolene and couldn't stop watchin that reaction for DAYS. Epic! yes, the purpose, open minded, teaching young folks about how powerful the ol' days were, and even into the 80's.

The oldest Stairstep was born in 1948, the youngest in 1964. Ironically, they were the first two to die. There were six of them. Their mother called them that because, when they were all lined up, they looked like stairsteps. Their mother is still alive, btw. Their father just died in July 2020.

You could have seen the family Burke performing live on Soul Train... Mostly forgotten since the late 60's and early 70's, this Chicago based family band (Burke Family), in the spring of 1970, released its sole certified million-seller and biggest pop hit, "O-o-h Child" :-)

In 2001, my 16 year old son listened to this song over and over when he was being treated for lymphoma. I don't know where he first heard it, but it was the perfect song for him to find. He made it through but had a recurrence at 19 and had a stem-cell procedure. He just celebrated his 35th birthday - with his wife and three sons!

They used to play this song at the skating rink when I was young, it’s a great song!! I’d love to hear your reaction to Because the Night by The Patty Smith Group!! Your reactions are priceless and I think it’s wonderful that you are open to learning about so many types of music!!
