Who do y'all think was better, Five Star or the Jets.

Every so often, their song "All Fall Down" pops up on the Strobe (the disco/classic dance station on Sirius radio)...sometimes on Heart and Soul (the 80s and after R&B station). That was the first and only thing I've heard from them. IT's very catchy. I probably heard it as a kid, too.

wish I was still in the 80s...

Five Star was great!!! and i still listen to them now and then...Find the time, stay out of my life, system addict..

They were really popular back in the day; all over the place. Then they went bankrupt and disappeared.

ohhhhh we've had many a thread about Five Star in recent months...


I loved all the weave and makeup...both girls and guys wore

nope...never heard of them.

Waiting for Ellie to see this thread...

LOVE Five Star!!! So many fantastic songs - System Addict, Rain Or Shine (cheesy but fab ), Let Me Be The One, Find The Time... brilliant!

They were so famous at the time they even had their own comic strip in Look In magazine. Before one of them got caught masturbating in a public toilet, obviously.

sosgemini said:

yeah baby that was too cool thanxs brought back a lot of memories!

sosgemini said:

You were in Five Star?

sosgemini said:

I'm sure it was Steadman but I can't say for certain. All I remember is one of them being caught in a public bathroom with the door open. Naughty.

So, what are they doing NOW?

HamsterHuey said:

The last I heard they're on the nostalgia circuit, doing the rounds. Every Christmas, there's this show that goes round the UK - 'The Best Party In Town', I think it's called - which gathers a load of 80's acts and sends them on tour. I know Five Star did it a few years back.

Or recording their 'comeback' album.

I always like stories like "Stedman now works in the office of the major of London and Denise is a mother of five."

onenitealone said:

they're doing the rounds on MySpace too... seen quite a few "thanks for the add" comments so no doubt they're trying to build up a bit of a fan base again

morning hon

"Loraine currently works for the London Underground, selling tickets at Liverpool Station"

"Delroy, after a short career in adult movies, is now bron again Christian and performs on streetcorners, singing gospel."

that's my favorite song by them

HamsterHuey said:

But what about DORIS??! Surely she hasn't fallen off the pop radar??

Natisse said:

MySpace?? Never heard of it.

Morning, love. I do recall some article, ages ago, where it said they still release records in Japan or somewhere. Again, I don't know the specifics.

There is still hope for us us Starrettes!!

onenitealone said:

Yeah, it was ole Steadman. A mate of mine used to know the family quite well, because he was all set to write a few songs for or with 'em. Never happened, but he told me Steadman was bisexual.

One of the sisters is seriously fiiiiine though.
