专辑介绍
by Andrew Hamilton
A sparkling debut by the offspring of Clarence Burke and Mama Stairstep. The Stairsteps are four brothers and one sister, all between the ages of 13 and 17: Clarence Jr., Aloha, James, Dennis, and Kenneth Burke. Curtis Mayfield produced the set and highlighted their unique and arresting bloodline harmonies. Clarence was only 16 when he cut &Come Back,& abut he sings (or cries) it like he has experienced the agonizing pain of losing someone dear first-hand. &World of Fantasy& (written by Clarence Jr.) finds the teenager crooning about a world where he's never alone, a world of true make-believe -- some pretty surreal lyrics for a high schooler. Only on &Playgirls Love& is their whimsical kid side evident. Clarence Jr. wrote most of the material; Curtis Mayfield contributed &Behind Curtains& and &Don't Waste Your Time,& an enjoyable, energetic romp about romance. The flip side, &You Waited Too Long,& was a far more serious tale of love that was applicable to all ages; the crying ballad, along with others, should have established the group as heavy hitters, but it was only a modest hit for the Burke children. Brother James cries as good as Clarence on the group's rendition of &Ooh Baby Baby.& In all, ten slices of magic from the First Family of Soul.
