Yeah, BET definitely showed videos for "Let Me Be The One", "Can't Wait Another Minute" and "If I Say Yes". I believe there was also one for "Love Take Over".

one of my favourite pics (from Silk and Steel photo shoot)










and for u guys..more Stedman

LOL, Steadman looks like Janet on the Velvet Rope tour

Chico, STOP! He looks like he has breasts in one of those pics. Very Janet TVR.

Doris and Delroy at the time weren't interestd or "ready" to make another album. so the remaining 3 Lorraine, Deniece, and Stedman went on to do the album
"Eclipse". though Doris had a little participation in it. they toured, mainly on the Here and Now tour. (a revival of popular 80's acts for the most part). Stedman from what i last heard is also persuing a solo career.
now there's also word that all 5 are heading into the studio to do another album. Deniece did a duet with Matt Goss of the group BROs some years back.


some of there album covers:









Deniece ...what a voice!!

JackieBlue said:

don't blame me.

in the pic he was performing his (solo) song "You Can Make It Happen"

CHIC0 said:

in defense of Stedman he has only had one nose job and no other plastic surgery....its the plucked eyebrows that make him look strange...but hey, hit any gay club and your going to see that.

CHIC0 said:

Thanks for the update.

Niecy's got some hellacious eyeliner work goin' on.

There was one of those cheesy docs about musical families on the BBC a cuple of years ago and Stedman was interviewed. He's so funny, he said "I am neither a male or a female..." then they cut away and we all just went Later they cut back and he finished the sentence "... I am a product of both my mother and my father"

What a joker.

theAudience said:

How did I not see that the first time? I don't think the Siouxsie look works for her.

I got "silk and steel". Iam gonna dig it out now, thanx...


I love "cant wait another minute". The cheap spaceship video is funny too.

I remember reading in a issue of Rolling Stone (Eddie Murphy cover story - 1989) that the singer (Deniece) was dating Eddie. He said they used to talk for long hours on the phone and started dating pretty heavily. He said he was ready to make the next move and Five Star's management didn't like it. They interupted their relationship and she was cut off from him. Supposedly he was really bummed out from that.

Poor man's Jacksons if you ask me. I can't believe some people here thought they were better than New Edition. Five Star's music is so dated now.

Just listening to five star now, very, very dated, but happy pop music. Not bad.

agreed...and i happen to think their harmonies are up there with the best of them.

sosgemini said:

"cant wait another minute" will be in my head for a while now

The production is tighter (or funkier) then ne's early stuff. Both are cheesy though

gotta love the hair














more recent pics:







and Stedman...

this is my fav:





they look like lost cosby kids.

sosgemini said:

intersting you should say that...

on an episode of the Cosby Show, "Theo" has a 5 poster on his closet door. same place the Jill Jones one was hanging. i think the kids on the show were big fans of theirs as well. i have a pic somewhere when they all met.

The only songs I've heard by them were "All Fall Down", "Hide And Seek",and "Let Me Be The One". BET had those videos in heavy rotation back in the day. I remember hearing a story about Eddie Murphy having a crush on one of the girls, But her Daddy wasn't having it.

ThePunisher said:

Yeah, the Eddie Murphy connection was already posted earlier. New Edition also recorded "Hide And Seek". Who did the song originally?

sextonseven said:

on both of their debut albums on which the song appears have the same year, 1984.

CHIC0 said:

I used to own both albums (and it was NE's second album btw), but never bothered to look at the songwriting credits.

sextonseven said:

that's what i meant to say





thanks

all that damn makeup and big hair...I love them

Nichola said:

LOL! Someone musta saw VH1 Classic Soul the other day because that video came on all day!

I really want to hear their stuff but I only have vinyl and no turntable at the moment.
