I love this group! In fact everyone I know loves them and are eager to hear them perform. Check out Clarence at The Sugar bar in NYC in April (I Think). Check out the Stairsteps featuring Clarence Burke Jr. at the 5th Annual Classic R&B weekend in The Poconos (Pa) Nov 11, 12, and 13th with The Dramatics, Slave, Atlantic Starr, Blue Magic, and D-Train. Clarence Burke equals OUTSTANDING!!!!
