"O-o-h Child" gave the Five Stairsteps -- four brothers and a sister from Chicago -- a pop-soul classic that rivaled the hits of another sibling gang, the Jackson 5. The children of police detective Clarence Burke, the Five Stairsteps, who played their own music as well as sang, ranged in age from thirteen to seventeen when Curtis Mayfield signed them to his Windy C label.
