We remember singer/songwriter Clarence Burke, founding member of the Five Stairsteps. They are best known for their April 1970 release, "O-o-h Child." The song is included in Rolling Stones’ 500 Greatest Songs Of All Time. Burke worked with several artists including Curtis Mayfield, Sly Stone, George Harrison and Quincy Jones. He reportedly died at the age of 62.
