I accidentally came across this forgotten group while I was looking up an old Andre Cymone track and these clips completely took me back. I hate to be nostalgic but those were the days:

Five Star was pretty big. I was not a huge fan of them, but I did like "Let Me Be The One" and "All Fall Down."

Tons of people remember them. They're hardly obscure

I was [and still is] a big fan. Denise/Deniece was on 'The Voice' (UK) a few weeks ago. Don't know how that's going. I'm not in the UK and I haven't seen or read anything more online about her on the show.

Well here is some news for you on both 5 STAR and Andre Cymone....

All 4 of 5 STARS albums have been reissued with bonus Tracks on the CHERRY RED record label.

Same for Andre Cymone, quite a few of his had been reissued and 2 new ones recently.

http://www.Cherryred.co.uk I believe thats the label website

PS. 5 STAR will be going on tour this summer. new albums also in the works of new material

"Let Me Be The One" is my favorite by them It's a perfect mid-80s R&B/pop tune

My fav is 'If I Say Yes'

WOW...You have a good selection of 5Star and I LOVE ME SOME 5STAR!!!!! I have to get those reissues...I am a 80's JUNKIE 4SURE!!!

Go to CherryRed.co.uk for the reissues.

Thats the label that put them out

They totally flopped in the Uk after their "rock the world" album (which was alot better then the forgettable "Between the lines"). Infact, I think their self titled 1990 album and "Shine", which were both on CBS/Sony, were not even released in the UK?

I really quite like their "Shine" album. Ian Prince produced most of it. All his work sounds the same but I like the new jack inspired tracks, aswell as the poppier ones.

Jam/Lewis/Janet, eat your heart out.....

Decent rnb track this one.

Pointless trivia: "Come to me" was recorded at Michael Jacksons own studio LOL.

5 Star were huge in Britain between 1985 and 1990, just not that big in the states. Probably as their music sounded more American than British, they were all actually siblings, and managed by their control freak father Buster Pearson.

No I dont - thank God!

I LUV "ARE YOU MAN ENOUGH"

I've heard OF them before, but I don't remember actually HEARING any of their stuff on the radio.

Weird considering I'm an 80s baby who listened to the radio ALOT at the time.
