==Life and career==
[[File:Blondie1977.jpg|left|thumb|Burke (second from left) with Blondie in 1977]]
Burke's early experiences behind the drum kit began in the late 1960s and early 1970s as one of the founding members of Bayonne, New Jersey's premier cover bands, Total Environment and Sweet Willie Jam Band.

Recruited by [[Debbie Harry]] and [[Chris Stein]] when [[Blondie (band)|Blondie]] was first forming in 1974, Burke joined Blondie in early 1975.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://archive.blondie.net/gig_list.php |title=Blondie Gig List |publisher=Blondie |date=May 23, 2021 |access-date=2021-05-23}}</ref>
