Anyone that dies so young regardless of the cause it is alway very sad. I know of Hi-five but I can't say I remember much about them. I put them in the same catergory of The Boys, Soul for Real etc.

damn shame disbelief when i heard the news on the way to work yesterday morning, at first I thought they were talking about Tony Terry (the one who sang "When I'm With You"), but then they was like the lead singer of the now defunct "Hi-Five" I was like WHAT???!!! I loved that fella to death when I was in 5th grade.....

what in the hell was he doing overdosing????
I will forever love and miss you...my sweet Prince.

nod I met them when they had their first single out. I used to sing it for my friends at school. I followed them thru the years and I like Tony's single " I Wanna Love Like That." I got this news on my birthday and my heart broke.
I'm an org elitist... totally unapproachable.
