Washington, D.C., guitarist Vernon Burch spent two years backing the Delfonics as a teen sensation. He was 13 when he joined them. He later played with the Stairsteps, and then with the Bar-Kays for four years. Burch began recording for United Artists in 1975, and later for Columbia, Chocolate City, and Spector. Only the singles "Changes (Messin' with My Mind)" in 1975 and "Do It to Me" in 1981 made it into the R&B Top 20. ~ Ron Wynn
