They were all siblings. "Five Stairsteps" meant they were so close in age that when they lined up by height it looked like they were standing on steps. Hope that makes sense.
Ya, ppl said that about kids...'oh, stair steps!'.
So true. #oldschool
Thank you. I didn't know that.
I love this song. After my husband/best friend died I heard this a lot during my daily commute and it felt like a message from him.
You explain it better than I😍
All of us "old heads" get it.
I've been listening to "O-o-h Child" for 50 years and it still gives me chills each time.
MuzzikLvr ohhh me too. Have to listen with my eyes closed!😊
No doubt ! This song is so relevant to what’s going on today . It was the message when it was written and again when it was sampled by Tupac.
No doubt it will be sampled again .
I was loving this song when I was 14! Good memories 😀! The lead singer was a guy!
100 percent
@@sheilameyers152 The sister also sang in this song
Stairsteps was a group from the Southside of chicago of which my cousin who blew trumpet for the band would invite me to practice session in the 70's 😀😊 times were good then .
@Steven Shelley You were so blessed to see & experience that! That's cool.
Harlan High School
Jackson park
@@tomlehr861 Harlan High 9652 S Michigan is in the Roseland neighborhood. That’s the school the older Burke kids attended.
Yet they had to sing these songs for hoping better times...
Sam Cooke “ a change is gonna come,” Smokey Robinson “ Tracks of My Tears,” The Spinners “ I’ll Be Around.” Songs from an amazing era in music. If you don’t know them you should give them a listen even if it’s not a video you react to. Love seeing you guys hear songs for the first time, it’s awesome to see.
Seconding Sam Cooke that song is so powerful
Marvin Gaye What's Going On (I think that's the name?)
Anything by Marvin is amazing!!!
They did a video on Sam Cooke's "A Change is Gonna Come" already.
I was going to suggest Smokey Robinson "Ooo Baby Baby."
Why was I so moved by this song today? I can actually imagine that song being played, as loud as possible, during all these protests going on in our world today. It gave me chills and made me cry. @TwinsthenewTrend I found your channel a few days ago. I’ve watched a few of your vids so far and I love watching you play this music. I love that you’re open-minded to take the time to listen to this music. ❤️❤️
I could have written this, yes and amen to it all. We all need to see how important these boys’ lives are. With the notion of BLM, once you get personal, and see their enthusiasm for literally 100 years of music, and see their love for helping others, it just means more, and puts a face to the movement. Also, how open they are to embracing all types of music. Their open-mindedness is inspiring and we all have a lot to learn from their lead. I will also admit that I’ve binge-watched them since Thursday!
Esther you're on it. I saw Jolene and couldn't stop watchin that reaction for DAYS. Epic! yes, the purpose, open minded, teaching young folks about how powerful the ol' days were, and even into the 80's. For kids today to appreciate a voice like Whitney Houston, before all the health issues, really spotlights a natual talent that is a God given gift. Thank you.
I watch about an hour every evening until I unplug. Such a great way to end my plugged-in day.
Was on the edge of tears and then I read this comment. Gone over that edge
ditto from Europe
This is an early 70 s Anthem. It’s about things are gonna get better for Black folks
Such a bittersweet song 🥺
50 years later it's still an issue! How have we not progressed?
Released in 1970. In the height of the Vietnam War when we were suffering casualties at peak numbers. Evening news every day was sadly about the war and the casualties.
Keith Gilliard for all folks, not just black
Keith Gilliard you are so wrong it was on top 40 am back in the 70’s
“Someday, we’ll get it together and we’ll get it undone!” How sad and true. This song should be playing for every American to hear, so we could feel a little hope for our future! Love you and the bright spot you give me everyday!
Amen...
Shocked to find out that a white man wrote that song for them! Beautiful and heartfelt!
Play it for Putin and Zelenskyy, too. :-(
Yea for sure as the -ish show and the race to the bottom continues-2023.
You should definitely listen to Sly & the Family Stone doing It's A Family Affair
I was just thinking that!! Great minds think alike!
Gotta get Everyday People and Hot Fun in the Summertime, too.
"Everyday People"
The Rascals - "People Got To Be Free"
Yes! And Marvin!!?
With all the chaos in the world let's hear the words of Harold Melvin and the bluenotes.... WAKE UP EVERYBODY
I agree...been trying to get them to play "If I Can Dream" by Elvis
Yes, Harold Melvin with Teddy Pendergrass singing vocals.
Yes, yes yes... Wake up Everybody... Come on boys... please do it 🙏
Kawika Lee Love Harold Melvin and the Bluenotes. All their songs are so good!
Yes!!!
I’m 63 years old and loved this song when I was young. Thanks for playing!!!
Stairsteps means the children were born back to back like 1970, 1971, 1972 , 1973, 1974. I know because I am a three stairsteps sibling.
Wow this is my theme song
Remember YALL on Soul Train
Everday
Thank Y'ALL
Its perfect on repeat.
From a 50s baby
The original pre Jackson 5
Family
La la la la YES SIR
Yes but these kids were born in the late 50s and 60s. Their dad and mine were police officers with Don Cornelius.

The oldest Stairstep was born in 1948, the youngest in 1964. Ironically, they were the first two to die. There were six of them. Their mother called them that because, when they were all lined up, they looked like stairsteps. Their mother is still alive, btw. Their father just died in July 2020.
@@sewcraftylion Actually, the oldest was born in 1948.
Hope you guys see this - you hooked me with your reaction to Dolly Parton’s Jolene and now I just keep watching and listening. Love your open-minded approach, willingness to explore and share your discoveries, and the interactions between the siblings (including brother #3). As a Literature teacher, I love that you are drawn to the “stories” of songs and recognize great lyrics. I also appreciate that your conversations and language are clean and respectful. I wonder if, afterward, you ever research the various artists’ bios, history, stories and contributions to the music industry? Keep up the positive message and vibe & healing power of shared music - society needs you now more than ever!
Same🙋♀️ the Jolene reaction got me hooked!! When it came up in my feed, I thought who the heck hasn’t heard Jolene, so I had to watch😂🤣😂 now I’m addicted!
The Carpenters reactions got me hooked! These young men give me hope, finding commonalities across stereotypical, racial, gender, and age barriers.
Ditto... And the fact that they are clean in their language. Love it! 💕
Same here. Between Dolly's Jolene, Alicia's Fallin', and Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody... I am hooked on the open-minded positive reactions. You brighten my day.
Same! Jolene!
I had a rough childhood and this song meant a lot to me growing up. Glad you guys liked it. I was in the studio back in the 80's with Stan Vincent, the guy who wrote this song. He was producing the band I was doing vocals for. Real nice guy, very talented.
Wow! You were part of a fabulous musical history!
Such a great song especially in our world today. This was 1st year of high school. They just dont make music like this anymore. OK I'm freaken old LOL :)
One of my favorite songs back then.
I was 12!
"especially in our world today' LMAO
Watching all the divisiveness and hate right now- watching you two and reading the comments of your fans gives me hope. I hope everyone votes for things to get better this coming election.
going green, hawkins/walker 2020
Yessssss!!! Finally youngsters listening to our music.... Love the reaction. 😂... Being a single mother I asked my uncle.. how can I teach my son to respect females.... he said.... Make sure he grows up listening to oldies.. haha..😆😊😊❤️💋🙏 keep promoting old school music.
Ole skool is the SHITTT!!!
Ooooh! Never heard this song?! Then you have missed out on an exceptionally good movie, “Boyz n the Hood.” See it! Excellent movie. This song is featured while Lawrence Fishburne’s character is driving with his son Trey. Will never forget the impact of that moment; that movie.
I was going to comment that too!!
Sampled to excellent effect on De La Soul’s ‘Buddy’ with Jungle Bros., Q-Tip, Monie Love & Queen Latifah.
This song makes me sad because that day has never come. I hope it will. someday
@brady STFU ignoramus!!!
It will. Keep fighting.
"Someday, we'll walk in the rays of a beautiful sun,
Someday when the world is much brighter"
Wow, to me this in a way points to the future promise of God's kingdom and God himself being with his people after the end days...
Your comment hurt my soul......
@@gr33n3ggs4 check my comment here
Wake up everybody by Harold Melvin and the bluenotes. Lyrics still ring of our chaotic world
Yes. Or Bad Luck. 👍👍👍
This one too, Teddy Pendergrass days, what a talent@!!
Yass Wake Up Everybody !! I LOVE that song.
Let’s do some Motown! Smokey Robinson: Ooh Baby Baby!
Four Tops, Temptations, Rascals
YES PLEASE!!!!
Marvin Gaye and Tammy Terrell, The Tempations, The Miracles, Stevie Wonder, etc...
Word
Great song of the 70s.. the song ''Wake up everybody'' by Harold Melvin and the bluenotes is also a great song. Teddy Pendergrass was the lead singer on that song. So many great soul songs of the 70s like ''Tell Me Something Good'' by Rufus, ''I'll Take You There'' by the Staples Singers or ''I'll Be Good to You'' by Brothers Johnson.
You and your generation have restored my hope.
One of my friends from the Bronx, LeAnna, her Uncle wrote this song. Always has been in my favorite top ten songs. I am 63, this is also in my son's (44 yrs old) favorites. And it is also now in my grandaughter Emma's (13 yrs old) favorites. When a song is classic, it's ALWAYS a classic. It is SO fitting for our times. Thank you Tim and Fred for bringing happiness to my life every day. I love music and I LOVE watching you learn about different music!
OMG! This song helped me survive a very rough upbringing and still gives me strength to this day.......
Ohh child.. I had no idea that it was a female singer all these years until I watch the video
All these years I thought it was a male singer too
Omg...me too!
Though she starts off the song, her brothers rotate with lines throughout the song. This is a video of the group's appearance on "Soul Train" so you can see for yourself: ruclips.net/video/RY2fr13ibFc/видео.html

You two are so cute and enthusiastic about music, love it💜😍
we also love them from Europe
Never going to stop loving you boys x.. I am a old 60s bird... I have just seen lots of people are doing what you boys are doing... But.. you two are absolutely spot on.. thee best!! Much love xx
This was one of my very first "45 's " that came with my first "own" record player, on my 5th birthday. ( 1971)
Great tune ! Still a fave!
This song still gives me goosebumps after half a century! I love watching you love it.
When I hear this song I think of the movie "Boys in the hood"
Oh that movie! 🥰
The one thing Spike Lee did that I respect.
brady holy crap you're right. Wtf did I think it was?
brady without question and I guess I don't respect him at all now. 😂
Nd crooklyn
Great to see the younger generation appreciating the classics.
I’m only 12 but I have been listing to this music since I was born and I fell in love with u2 Bruce, Springsteen, Bon Jovi, Tom Petty, Queen, Led Zeppelin, Kenny Chesney, Jon Denver, Alan Jackson, Sting, Poison, and many others and I’m happy that other younger people like it to
Awwe. That's so wonderful that you appreciate this music.
Keep being you.
Now, this is old,old, old school here! Hey young bucks this is part of your heritage! The five stairstep were from just around the way in Chicago! Love following you guys journey! Peace!
40 years later and I still can't listen to this song without tearing up.
ruclips.net/video/6drx_h3nqBg/видео.html
I'm 61 and yes I tear up too, and I have it downloaded to my phone.
What really shocked me is when I found out that a white man wrote that song for them.
Same here
"O-o-h Child" is a 1970 single recorded by Chicago soul family group the Five Stairsteps and released on the Buddah label. (wiki)

I love when you react to a song I forgot about....how about Hot Child in the City, very different style tho!
Oooiih! Good one! I forgot about Hot Child in the City.
BTW, got my twinsthenewtrend t-shirt. LOVE it! I think we all can use the words to this lyric right now. It gives us hope. Love your reactions. Love the different genres of music. You've introduced me to some that I didn't even know about and I have over 2000 CDs and countless vinyls. Thanks guys for always being my go-to when I need a lift from life. 😊
Aaaahhh a song from my youth!!! I love it.
Since it’s 4th of July, give Ray Charles’s. America the Beautiful a listen. THD BEST RENDITION OF THE SONG!! And it’s not the easiest to sing or really a very pretty song.
I so agree. I'm not into patriotic songs but America the Beautiful was always my favorite. Then I heard Brother Ray do the absolute best version. You guys reacted to him singing Georgia on my Mind. This is just as good.
Great song, brings so much emotion!
"O-o-h Child" was featured prominently in a notable scene of the 1991 film Boyz n the Hood, directed by Academy Award nominee John Singleton, when Doughboy and Chris are witnessed being arrested by Tre and Furious.
This is one of my all-time favorite songs. It’s so sad and beautiful yet upbeat at the same time
Omg. I sang this to my babies! I CANNOT WAIT to see you react to this one. This is one of my favorite songs of all time. I have had this song on every type of media (except reel to to reel but I'm pretty sure my step dad had it) 8 track. Vinyl. Then cassette. COUNTLESS mixtapes.
Classic.
Timeless.
That song could be hope for today's tomorrow. Sure could use it. Keep it up gentlemen. Know you are loved.
I posted their performance on Facebook of this song on Soul Train because it definitely hit home with things going on in this country now. 🎶Someday 🎶 let's hope for the change we need so desperately ❤
ruclips.net/video/6drx_h3nqBg/видео.html
Oh my One of my FAVE songs EVER !! How did I miss you guys watching this ??
Hello Tim, Hello Fred!!
Someday we will walk in the rays of beautiful sun someday when the world is much brighter !!
This was used to great effect in Spike Lee’s Crooklyn. The entire soundtrack to that film is amazing.
Great movie!!
People make the world go round The Stylistics
Facts. I just commented to someone on here on how great the entire Crooklyn soundtrack is.
Have you ever heard any Jim Croce? Check out “You don’t mess around with Jim”. Classic tune from the 70’s! You guys are great!
Yes!! That’s my favorite Jim Croce song!
ohhhhh...Bad, Bad Leroy Brown!!!!
I love this song , it's spiritual to me , to me this is church , it lifts your spirit ... what more can you want from a song
You cannot listen to this and not feel joy. Such an uplifting song. Something special. ♥
Blast from my past! I never realized what the song was really talking about until I read the comments. Thanks for dusting that off and sharing!
Wooo smooth groove! There is a LOT of good older music. You'd be surprised and are probably seeing that! Have you heard old Motown stuff? You better put on your seatbelt if you hear Sugar Pie HoneyBunch by the Four Tops. Through the roof awesome and a classic. Also Baby I Need Your Lovin' by the Four Tops is good. The Supremes are good too.
It's called "Can't Help myself"
Yes!!! Totally agree.

Reverend Al Green- How Can You Mend A Broken Heart. Howlin' Wolf - Smokestack Lightnin'.
Hell yes to some Howlin’ Wolf!
I heard this by the Edwin Hawkins Singers in the early 70s. I love it. For those who do not know, the Edwin Hawkins Singers were the first to cross the line from Black Gospel to Pop music. Their big hit "Oh Happy Day" skyrocketed them to fame. Then the Staple Singers also crossed from Black Gospel to Pop with their big hit "Respect Yourself" and I fell in love with them.
One of my favorite songs from the 70's. Very uplifting. The drum work is off the chain!
Thank you for bringing back the music from when I was your age. I loved that song. Guys song high when I was a child. Checkout the the Stylists, Chilites, Dramatic, Four Top, Debarge, LTD, etc.
You guys got to listen to Respect Yourself by the Staple Singers.
50 years and this song still brings me to, the message at the end "Right Now!" I really believed in college at 19 were were OVER division and prejudice. These songs are my prayers. Thanks for re presenting them as brand new. 'Cause it still feel sthat way!
Those drum fills...wowwww! Been a huge fan of this song since it first came out. This is a message for today, more than ever.
Still waiting for things to get easier
Yeah, I remember hearing this in the 70s and hoping it was true
@@DD-d6d3 yeah wishful thinking for people of color then and now😐
@@stevenshelley9345 yeah...for sure for sure! For the record, I'm not black, but my daddy is.
How about Sly and the Family Stone-Stand....Love your reactions!
So blessed to be a child of the best music EVER!! THANK YOU MOM!
Ohh The Reverend Al Green...Love and Happiness. He will NOT disappoint!
I'm way old now, but this was popular when I was in high school. Actually it was very popular 50 years ago this summer, and man, I still love it! Loved your reaction! You two are great! :) I am hopeful for our future with two open-minded young men!
💕💕 PLEASE listen to Marvin Gaye’s “What’s Going On” and Eric Clapton’s “I Shot the Sheriff”. 💕💕
❤️
This song has brought tears of joy to me for many decades. In very difficult times, the beautiful melody and comforting lyrics made all the difference. I’m sure that I’m not the only one that feels this way. Thank you for reviewing it,
You played it. Thank You. Another smile and great memory evoked by watching you. I just enjoy U guys. Keep growing, it's a joy to watch!!!
Never in 1,000,000 years did I think it would be so much fun to simply watch people listen to music.
Moments.. Love on a Two Way Street
I'm so excited to see you guys react to "ooh Child"! This is one of my favorite songs of my life! The Five Stairsteps were great; they were beautiful siblings. That was the sister with the deep voice who started out the song. I cannot say how much I love this song and the group. And the way dressed was so freakin cool. When I was a teen I saw them perform in person and almost lost my mind. They were great.Thank you guys for reacting to this song.
Hell yes me too!! Oldie but goodie. The best music from the 60s,70, and 80s. Love it!!! ❤❤❤❤💋💋💋💋
You can hear this song brilliantly woven into Tupac's "Keep Ya Head Up." Love you guys and so grateful I discovered you the other day. Thank you for all you're doing to keep people lifted during these crazy times! ✌️ and ❤️ from British Columbia!
5 Stair Steps, 5 children born into one family, born right behind each other, when you are born 10 to 12 months apart you were called stairsteps, one child born right behind another, 1 year difference between each child, stairsteps, one right behind another brothers and sisters
Wow! Listened to this in my Dad 's yellow Celica when I was 5 years old on 8 track!!My mom was and still is a big mo town lover. Memories. Great, Great song! Older songs have soooo much soul, spirt and message.
What a soothing positive message, simple and comforting, especially in Pandemic times!! many singers have made versions of this song! Love!
I discovered you guys not too long ago. Not many out there reacting to these old school hits. My suggestion is Rufus and Chaka Kahn. “Tell Me Something Good”
YES!!!!!
Have loved Chaka ever since!!!
This is my daddy's music, music I grew up on. Sunday mornings, dancing with him in the living room, waiting for breakfast.
In the same era, you can't go wrong with anything by the Commodores, or Earth Wind and Fire. And the Four Tops and Temptations - they were already of by then, and still recording.
Those groups will give you some roots. ANYTHING by them, anything at all, will be worth your time.
Haven't gone through everything, yet, but you also need Otis Redding. Sadly murdered at 23, he was...
Try a Little Tenderness, Otis Redding
A Chicago-based family of brothers and one sister so close in age, hence the name the Five Stairsteps. Their father was a Chicago Police Officer, as was my father who knew him. They were a very talented family group.
In 2001, my 16 year old son listened to this song over and over when he was being treated for lymphoma. I don't know where he first heard it, but it was the perfect song for him to find. He made it through but had a recurrence at 19 and had a stem-cell procedure. He just celebrated his 35th birthday - with his wife and three sons!
well it is a classic@! for my era. Try this one! "Ain't No Woman LIke the One I Got" by the Four Tops, Here's another one that will break the bank: Marvin Gaye (any song) but you got to hear "Mercy Mercy Me." One of his best..
Great song! Lots of memories. You should also hear The Youngbloods singing "Get Together".
I agree wholeheartedly with the writer's sentiments below YES A GREAT SONG! The song needs to be played right now! Joan and Keith Bates thanks twins
I LOVE this song, it's one of my All time favorites
One of the things I love about this channel is I rediscover music!
So nice to see how positive and open minded they are
Wonderful song and so apt at the moment
Super sweet song; her vocals give me goosebumps; thrilled you chose this song and enjoyed it as much as I do.
Love how this song resonates with you. It was meant for a generation far before you, but it’s still moves you. What more could we ask for? Great music transcends time...
"BACK STABBERS" by The O'Jays......
Definitely this one!
You could have seen the family Burke performing live on Soul Train... Mostly forgotten since the late 60's and early 70's, this Chicago based family band (Burke Family), in the spring of 1970, released its sole certified million-seller and biggest pop hit, "O-o-h Child" :-)
Harold Melvin and the Blue Notes "Wake up Everybody"... you're gonna love it!!
Just beautiful! Dreaming of a better world, a better future. Still true. Thanks for bringing this wonderful music back!
This song was about things getting better for black folks. At least that’s what my Mom told me. I asked her if she remembered this song and she said it was played a lot in the 70s.
I read it was about overcoming drug addiction. Either way, one of the most inspirational songs ever sung. ❤️
Please check out Otis Redding "Try a Little Tenderness." One of the best builds in a song EVER.
This song got me through one of the worst times of my life. I would listen and hope that things would get better.
I've heard this for as long as it's been out and it still makes my heart swell. It's one of my all-time-faves PERIOD. It makes me sad when I hear it sometimes because it gives me that feeling of being homesick together with the realization there is no way to get back there......EXCELLENT TUNE...!!!
How could someone go their whole life never having heard this song! 😭 I was thinking this about most of the songs you guys feature on your channel. You've picked some really great ones! On the flip side, maybe you could close out your videos by challenging your viewers to try some of your favorite songs! 😄
It's strange but I get it once you think any the fact that 20 year old people from every race and community were born in 2000. Wild.
And of course, this was sampled in Keep Ya Head Up by Tupac..
just checking in to your channel-I grew up with this music in the 70's-greatest music ever and it brings me back to happier times
I used to sing this to my kids all the time. And now, my Daughter sings it to her child....my Granddaughter
I love the 70s soul music. Would love to hear you react to The Manhattans "Kiss and Say Goodbye" and Dorothy Moore "Misty Blue". Also O'Jays "Love Train" and The Spinners "Games People Play". Love your channel.
And Sly Stone's Dance to the Music... and War (huh, good God y'all)
At 3:25 you two are in the REACT Zone!!! First time I watched this react, was Friday, July 3rd, I remember b/c I shared it on FB messenger w/ a gf of mine from High School (late night). Saturday, July 4 I got an amazing text from my friend Amy it read “Jeffrey Thank you so much for sharing this song today is our anniversary, and this was my husband’s song back in the day.” He’s a Vietnam veterans, confined to wheelchair, TwinsthenewTrend gets the THANK YOU 🙏
I still remember all the words to this song even though it was around when I was a child. And we need it now as we needed it then. Such good music. I love seeing it still touch souls. That's what it is all about.
