George Harrison with Dark Horse Records band Stairsteps, comprised of Keni Burke, James Burke, Clarence Burke Jr. and Dennis Burke; photographer unnamed, published in Cashbox, 1975.“[Stairsteps] recently had a smash for their new label Dark Horse with ‘From Us To You.’ Oddly enough the brothers were always into the Beatles and when they first met George Harrison it was like a dream come true.” - Cashbox, 29 May 1976“It was while working with Billy Preston with Preston’s ranch that Keni was introduced to George Harrison, who, after listening to a tape of the funky instrumental ‘From Me To You,’ decided to sign Keni to his Dark Horse label.” - Cashbox, 24 September 1977“Basically, the people who join Dark Horse [Records] are important to me. Maybe, in some ways, a little more than music, because I wouldn’t like to get involved with somebody who just happened to be a fantastic singer or something, but who I personally didn’t like. Some record companies have a bunch of artists whom they don’t really like as people — then it creates all this bad feeling, but I must have a decent and friendly relationship with the artist.” - George Harrison, Melody Maker, 6 September 1975 (x) -- source link
