Family acts have been an important part of music history over the years. The Five Stairsteps were siblings from Chicago, so named when Mom said that’s what they looked like side by side. For a while, littlest brother Cubie was the sixth Stairstep. Their neighbor was Fred Cash of the Impressions; this one has a definite Curtis Mayfield influence. They had a number of Top 20 R&B hits but 1970’s “O-o-h Child” was their only major pop record.
