Does anyone remember the group 5 Star? They were like the UK's answer to the Jackson 5 in the 80's. They had a couple of nice songs like 'Fall Down' and 'Let Me Be the One."

I saw them in, what, i think it was '87? Wembley Arena, anyway. I was supposed to meet them but it fell through at the last minute.

They were great though. System Addict, Rain or Shine, R.S.V.P...

Why are you laughing. They wore sparkly costumes and I thought one of the girls was pretty.

TheFrog said:

awww...sorry you didn't get to meet them. I bet that would have been cool.

I think they still perform. I saw a recent pic of them about a year ago at some performance.

Yes, I do remember them. I liked their songs like "All fall down" and "Can't wait another minute".

oh my..it looks life fivestar has a hit on their hands with System Addict 2004.....anyone across the atlantic that knows about this?

sosgemini said:

No!

I remember them and thought they were a little odd.

I remember Eddie Murphy wanted to date one of the girls and they had a list of rules, do's and dont's. Also, I think that there had to be at least 1 or 2 other people from the camp with them at all times. That seemed a bit much for a date.

Also, there was this whole Jackson thing that kinda creeped me out.

Kissmequick said:

Yeah, they struck me as odd too.

My older sister got me hooked on 5 Star! We first saw them on SoulTrain, and then we saw the crazy video for "All Fall Down" a few weeks later. They were cool!

Maybe that's where the members of 5 star are...

I was gonna marry Doris, the one on the far right, and my sister was gonna marry Delroy, the dude in the middle. My oldest sister liked Stedman, on the far left, but she didn't want to admit it. Man, I love Denise's voice, like a cross between MJ, Stephanie Mills, and Jody Watley, but completely her own.

Damn, Chico made me a Mixed CD... since all I have are the cassettes. I must play it now.

memories are so beautiful...

Playing now... thank you Chico.

~I think I am gonna dance!

I was dancing to 5 this morning as a matter of fact.
