I second that. 😀 The problem is that a number of those singles (especially the classic "Oooh Child") didn't make the Top Ten, which I think is the biggest dilemma, along with not enough airplay. 🎶 🎤🎤🎤🎤🎤🎶

Love Keni Burke’s Risin’ to the Top. As a kid growing up in the 80s, I listened to it often and I still do today. I didn’t know Keni was apart of the 5 Stair Steps. This group is before my time and indeed were ahead of their time with their tight music arrangement, beautiful vocals and songs fulled with great messages. I believe the group deserves to be in the music hall of fame as the first family of soul. My favorite song by The Five Stairsteps is O-o-h Child. Oh and honorable mention, All Night Thing by The Invisible Man’s Band. That song is my Jam. The last part of the song is the icing on the cake. Don’t know why no one has sampled it yet.

The Spinners as a ground are legends just like other groups and have the hit songs ti back it up,the many tour they did,tv shows . The last surviving Spinner not too long passed,but their music remained and still will as I can repeatedly rattle off their hits .

It was also used on the movie "Boyz N Da Hood" when Tre and Furious was coming home from a fishing trip and they saw Doughboy and his friend was getting arrested.

Wow, they colaborated on a lot of musical artist albums. Favs by them were, Oooh Child, We Must Be In Love and others. Rising To The Top by Keni Burke is a classic Chicago's steppers cut. 👞👠🕴🏿💃🏿🎶🎼🎵 I'm listening to the ages when some of the bros died. They weren't that old. They should be inducted into the Rhythm and Blues Hall of Fame, RRHOF, and Song Writer's Hall of Fame too. Thanks for the Burkes story. #thefivestairsteps #stairsteps

I'll have to check out the episode of To Tell The Truth to see the performance. Fave hit from their early days, World of Fantasy, their later years: 1970's Ooh Child. I've heard of their version of "Dear Prudence", based on a song from The Beatles' White Album, and I liked it.

I don’t think enough is known about the stairsteps for them to qualify for some of these Hall of Fame awards. A lot of their work is scattered throughout the years and it needs to be pulled together so that people will know what their contribution to the music. industry was. You did a great job here.

Nice vid family! “The First Family of Soul” is one of my favorite groups. From a pure singing standpoint, I prefer them over the J5. My favorite song by them is “You Waited Too Long” but I also love “Bad News” from their “Our Family Portrait” album. They should be in every hall of fame.

The fact their father learned guitar and took a leave from the Chicago police department in order to watch over his children while on tour is why they were on TO TELL THE TRUTH...the panel had to pick him out from two imposters. And it was in 1967, when they were little known among the pop audience.

Yes I remember, them. Saw them at the Uptown Theater many times. The did carve a way for many young groups as you mentioned, including the Ponderosa twins plus one.I I love my world of fantasy, ooh child, come back and the brother single Rising to the top. They belong in R&B hall of fame.
