First known as "The Stairsteps" and discovered by Curtis Mayfield, The Invisible Man's Band consisted of:
Clarence Burke Jnr. b. 1951, Chicago, Illinois, U.S.A. (lead and acoustic guitar)
James Burke b. 1952, Chicago, Illinois, U.S.A. (vibes)
Kenneth (Keni) Burke b. 28th September 1953, Chicago, Illinois, U.S.A. (bass guitar)
Dennis Burke b. 1953, Chicago, Illinois, U.S.A. (rhythm guitar)
and Dean Gant (all synths and keyboards)
The Invisible Man's Band were the brainchild of Clarence Burke, brother of Keni Burke and originally a member of the Chicago family group The Stairsteps.
Together with Alex Masucci, Clarence took the group to Island Records in the late 70's and enjoyed success on the U K soul scene with 'All Night Thing' in 1979.
The album 'Invisible Man's Band' followed the next year along with a follow-up single 'Love Can't Come / Love Has Come'.
The track was released by Island in 1980, but in 1981 they switched to the Boardwalk Entertainment label. In the early nineties there were rumours regarding Clarence joining the Stairsteps for a reunion, although, to this day, these rumours have not yet reached fruition.
