This is a picture of The Five Stairsteps, an American Chicago soul group made up five of Betty and Clarence Burke Sr.'s six children: Alohe, Jean, Clarence Jr., James, Dennis, and Kenneth "Keni", and briefly, Cubie. They are best known for the 1970 song "Ooh Child," listed #392 on Rolling Stone's 500 Greatest Songs of All Time.
According to their biography, Chicago Soul by Robert Pruter, published in 1992, one of the Stairsteps turned out gay. Using this picture as your guide, can you guess which Stairstep it might have been?
