Artist Biography
Available in:
The Showstoppers (alternatively The Show Stoppers) was a four-piece African American vocal soul group formed in Philadelphia about 1967. They are best remembered for their 1967 hit, "Ain't Nothin' But a Houseparty", which was the debut release on three record labels: Showtime Records, Heritage Records, and Beacon Records.
The Showstoppers was formed about 1967 by brothers, Elec Edward "Alex" Burke (born February 16, 1948 in Philadelphia) and Vladimir H. "Laddie" Burke (born July 31, 1949 in Philadelphia), who were the two oldest of the five younger brothers of Atlantic Record's star Solomon Burke, who joined with fellow Germantown High School students, brothers Earl Smith (born 1949 in Massachusetts) and Timmy Smith (born February 1, 1948 in Boston, Massachusetts). The Burke brothers had been in show business since at least 1957 as part of a four-member group with two of their two younger brothers.
