[nyc2b4me]

Still love this jam. Okay, TVOne Network it's time for a Five Star episode of Unsung. Who's with me?

[chuy61mscworld]

[clevawoman]

Lead singer was in that Thriller show.  She really sounds GREAT doing MJ's songs

[memorelove]

Loved this group :)

[Hunni]

Oh look she wearing that Pink Firday Nicki Minaj lipstick shade by MAC. Lmao I use to love Five Star I use to think me & my brother and sisters were going to be like them b/c my ma had five kids. An 80's kid imagination.

[lovelife804]

i use to sing this song all the time....i luv it still

[jaychulo]

Y'all know Mandy Moore covered this on her debut album. And I love both versions

[montrellove12]

THIS GO

[TERRYBUTLER69]

I was doin fine-just got back from church,now lustin on the love of my life-shes so FINE!!!!!Lol!!!Help me Lord

[quunekeTV]

ah the 80's how I miss them!



[radams377]

sounds like loose ends because Carl McIntosh from loose ends produced some of 5 Stars songs

[melittagriffith]

I love this song!!!!

[frankspeech]

I wish that the video was better! That brings back some memories! They were great!

[TERRYBUTLER69]

And dont 4get,they got cloths on

[TERRYBUTLER69]

and @ the age of about 20,i thought she was finest girl alive,lol!!!

[soulfulcooking]

@TERRYBUTLER69 I did too back then, well after Kim Fields.

[TERRYBUTLER69]

@soulfulcooking Kim Fields-i dont no about that 1,but 2 each his own-mad love on the kfields-lol!!!!

[TERRYBUTLER69]

Trying to buy it on google music,DARN-they dont have it!!!!

[910cadillacredd]

@TERRYBUTLER69 Google "Free youtube downloader" and you can get it off of here!

[hipowerz]

dont forget the jets,lol a lot of family groups back in the day,the track is tight,and no days all i hear is a lot of technique singers ,bassed on lessons instead of raw natural soul.

[schoolmom32]

They need an Unsung episode! LOVE THEM!!!

[kaabbaaq1]

Incredible. I did not like this song back in the 80s when it first came out, I thought expose's "let me be the one" was much better. Now, I can barely stop watching the video and listening to the song. Prime example of how true talent will eventually prevail!

[mspenney3]

Dang I totally forgot about these people. They were so much like the Jacksons. I wonder are they still in England singing?

[robert11234567]

44 clowns think that chris browns yeah, ushers more & omg, & niki minags super bass are more better than this. Please. I take this over all three of them.

[djgantman]

Damn this was my s#!t!!! I miss these days! I was 4 years old and I still remember this. They're from London. I think Loose Ends produced this joint or their producers! Timeless jam right here!

[MissTia777]

I really wasnt into Five Star back in the day.

[hipowerz]

FUNK AND SOUL WAS INFILTRATED BY THOSE WHO COULDNT SING IT OR HAD THE HEART TO PLAY IT, SO THEY MADE A MANUFACTURED VOCAL AND GROOVES NOW DAYS AND EVN DANCE, THATS WHAT PEOPLE DO WHEN THEY CANT FIT IN THEY FIND A WAY TO GET IN.

[howardsturrup]

@hipowerz your so on point with your comment , i just happen to come across this video an couldn't help but think this group really isn't that strong vocally . the beat was fresh an new for the 80's but such a stark contrast to so many of the amazing gifted voices of the 50's 60's & 70's. over time the pool of really gifted singers shrunk to the rare few, to many folks get by on their looks an not their talent which has left us with an ocean of really craptastic music an artists.

[lasar1968]

five star gets 5 stars!!!!!

[lhdollbaby]

this was my jam and still is it'ssooo cute! i always thought and still think she sings better than janet (this girl could really sing)

[HollyWoodStar2000]

Music to my ears. Sweet music. <3

[mscherbeare]

Good times and even better music

[YANABELLAH]

This is a CLASSIC!!!!!!

[Taz104561]

This is one off my favorite video's from them.

[brownfaye]

Yep, they were brilliant and British. The reason you cant hear their accent is that they, and most British soul singersof that time sang in an american accent. I knew all the song lyrics and the moves, used to put on a little routine for the family. Oh the good old days. Then the music industry turned to rat shit!

[jaye97s]

@brownfaye British?!!? Wow, I loved them back in the day and never knew that! That's cool either way!!

[Peter95111]

OOOh, I remember trying to dye my hair in Jr. high and it came looking all orange like that. Home perms and sun-in= 80's FAIL.

[mreev]

OmG!!!!!!! I swear growing up, i had a crush that lead singer.... I thought she was talking to me.......lmao

[workwithbillygee]

when i was i kid i was in LOVE with the lead singer....oh my GOD!

[mephisto256]

@workwithbillygee man WHAT, im 28, i remember seeing that TAPE, (yeah, CASSETTE, look it up youngins), and being like damn, i want a light skinned girl, lol....give it up 4 black girls born in the UK...

[ThatGirlTita]

IM LIKING THIS!

[keonta81]

its funny when british people sing u never here there accent

[datachristophari]

believe it or not they were from england,i saw them on bandstand when i was 15, and they all had british accents. how bout that?

[guitarrookie1974]

i forgot all about this song! omg...!

[MoBetta1973]

I can remember watching their videos every night on video soul...on BET...Ha Ha Ha

[MsElaine0035]

love, love love! I was about 13 and instanly fell in love with this song. I had the LP and kept putting the needle on the record!

[capria30]

Love this....

[creatingyourfate]

wow I would love to know what they are doing now, they were very good in their day which was also my time lol good ole 80s

[ericz310]

This was the jam you would turn up on a Saturday summer night cruisin". Definitely the cut!!

[diamondprincess74]

Wonder what ever happened to them???

[melmel041509]

I LOVE this song!!!! This was def an 80's song...The kind you sing in the bathroom mirror with your hairbrush!

[kourosh89]

thumbs up if you typed "youtube 5 stars" on google

[lkp1215]

the 90's were the best!!!

[akaGOLDFINGER]

@lkp1215 U BETTER DROP 10yrs & 10LBS... the 80's into the 90's was the best!!!

[rpaige180]

i remember this playing on the school bus to Portola Jr high

[CreativiDe992]

Classic :) Onra was a genius when he sampled this

[moemore1129]

old school music is the way to go. We used to dance hard and have a great time from the 80's music and I still do.

[AGLegend01]

These guys look like the offspring of the DeBarges and Jacksons!

[lrunnels40]

i still blast this song in my car..my feel good music..i was 15 when this came out

[BlueberryWaffleOs]

This song reminds me of going to Great Adventure!

[queenplo1]

Love this jam!!

[ILuvMusic4real]

I miss the 80's so much.

[darylj09]

music has changed so much and it will never be this good again..

[mrnathanLL]

My Dad is the best. He showed me this song when I was 8.........now I'm 12 and I still look this song up

[TheMinards]

Whoever said it sounds like Loose Ends - you are right. Loose Ends actually wrote this song but didn't use it on one of their own albums.

[Minatoakadq]

this is wht u call gd music too bad we dnt have it nowadays

[sexymarshmellowbunny]

@Minatoakadq You aint lying!

[because0011]

[SilentGuardian03]

I was always fond of this song. I was always fond of Lorrane

[gailmckennag]

[TheEnri4]

[TheShadowFX]

Hey anybody know if tears can ruin a keyboard? LOL! This was my daughters favorite song in the world, before I lost her! Daddy loves you Jen!

[papiblatino]

@TheShadowFX... nah man...such tears are fuel for a keyboard. yup!!!...keep smiling and keep your head up my friend.

[LisaRenaye]

This shit bumps...

[jucurtis23]

this is great...anybody thinks she sounds like Janet Jackson?

[TheShadowFX]

@jucurtis23 Of course she does!

[BigPac88]

Fabric... As in the fabric of my musical existence. Respect this!!!...*88*

[iwantMJ1]

[BEVERLY206]

[tiger64478999]

the 80s was the best i love all the music i did growing up

[nwlman]

Dont care what anyone says Five Star and their Album that this is from the Luxury of Life, is one of the best and most important albums of the decade that was the 1980s, I bought this when I was 16, and it was played to death, the whole album is great.

[mrwhatever213]

@nwlman agree! me to.

[Mikizzle15]

They look like a group full of Toni Braxton's. lol.

[terelon]

@Mikizzle15 LOL...Yes they look like Braxtons, Jacksons, and possibly Debarge's rolled into one!!! I thought it was only me!

[lowalevo13]

whats to get!!! some videos are dufus but just close your eyes and open them ears and reminisce on this cool sound from back in the day... get it !

[Orbot]

I remember them vaguley! Their look was REALLY airbrushed, lo! But they were classic nonetheless!

[SIAVEK1]

MAN THIS MAKES ME FEEL SO GOOD. MUSIC IS COMFORT. IT EMBELLISHES THE SOUL WHEN ITS SOMETHING THAT TRULY CAPTURES YOU. SOUND CONSUMES THE SPIRIT. I AM IN LOVE WITH THIS SONG AGAIN IN 2011. peace.

[lindenwood1000]

[2020203282]

[Akatsuki250]

Unsung is also missing the Tavares brothers .I would love to see them on there.

[gonzobrains]

massive props to whoever posted this. wow. this is "take me back in the day" shit. fo real.

[1959hannibal]

If I am not mistaken they are originally from the U.K. Their father managed and produced them.

[Soulhead1981]

@1959hannibal Correct.They were supposed to be our UK "Jacksons". One of the girls nearly married or had a relationship with Eddie Murphy if i remember rightly. The last i heard they lived in the states.

[VANBUREN045]

Whatever happened to them

[jn1167]

What up with MJ rockin the jerri curlz in the rear? lol. Kickass song though. Good memories.

[doctorsizzle]

holy fock, do you remember this?

[MegaByron1970]

Takes me back, prep dance

[mholub]

Good stuff, for sure!!

[kimhakker]

hmmmmm!!!!

[twinkeez2003]

ALL I CAN SAY IS HELLL'S YEAH.. SHE WAS ROCKIN NIKI MINJATWAT PINK FRIDAY LIPSTICK WAYYEE BEFORE SHE EVEN CAME OUT!

WE NEED MORE REAL MUSIC BACK!!!!!

[ddav2005]

whatever happened to this group and who produced this song? does anyone know?

[shafatema]

I remember this song they were tryin 2 b like the Jackson's family.

[hbarber]

Another badass group from the Brits. Yeaaah boyeeeeeee!!!

[1305alz]

Steadman Pearson used to be in my class at school and my main memory of him is his mate holding me while he beat the shit out of me, and I got in trouble for fighting and he got nothing done to him. If I bump into him again I will knock him the fuck out.

[gonzobrains]

video doesn't match up? What do you expect from the year 1985 anyway? I bet back then you were still rockin' betamax connected to yo mama's 500-pound, woodgrain TV with the VHF/UHF manual dials, yo!

KA-THUNK KA-THUNK KA-THUNK. damn, those rabbit ears fell off again!!!

gb

[evRmore104]

let me be the one...cause they all can get it!

[catweaselish]

Five Star went to a chip shop in Virginia Water, where my cousin worked, back in the 80's

[tachris253]

bitch this shit slaps .....CHRIS CRAYZIE IS WHAT IT IS COME TO MY PAGE ......BOMB FIRST OR CRASH YA CAR

[djhouse40]

I REAlly this family group. They were one of the baddest groups from the UK and the 80's

[ohmaryjane]

I was not around when the Jackson 5 came onto the scence. But, my aunts and uncles use to talk about it all of the time. The first time they saw the Jacksons 5 on tv. I had this group. And I use to love this song. I use to pretend I was the lead singer. Dance steps included,lol. So remind me of the Jacksons, Michael Jackson, Janet Jackson.

[MsSoftballplayer9]

they are the nephews and nices of michael jackson

[alishabrowneyez23]

I love them! You can tell they were influenced heavily by the Jacksons - Janet especially :-)

[berniemack1469]

This song takes me back to highschool. Remember your first love?....Those were the best days.

[rawrmonster1000]

omg pause it at 0:02

it looks like michael jackson not kidding

[EnidTracy]

@rawrmonster1000 I agree with you. I had to do a double take.

[brown547]

Loose Ends did produce this track for them



[mistabeekeeper]

they use a tr-808 on let me be the one

[mistabeekeeper]

on all fall down they use a linndrum not a tr-808. my bad

[mistabeekeeper]

on this song they use a tr-808 drum machine and on let me be the one they use a linndrum.

[blondedia]

I miss this group. so innocent, such great songs. they should get back together like a lot of groups do, they'd do just as well today.

[TheBlackkat63]

Hey what about the Group ""Imagination" every big party mix in New York , you are with out a doubt gonna here, any of their hits, every week day, every weekend. Lets not for get about them. The Paradise Garage played their stuff on the three day closing weekend party. I'm glad five starr is still going strong and look great too.

[kennyfame]

my all time favorite

[rago]

Heavy tune, the Loose ends sound is there too

[lessupastar]

i can't stop watching their videos. I <3 FIVE STAR!

[mgermain110]

they so favor the jackson clan

[maxday1000]

@mgermain110 how about also the the jets, klymaxx, Gloria, team dream, cherrelle, pebbles, loose ends, lisa & cult jam.

[rtothemutha]

hot!

[7xrt463]

I wish they played this on the radio so everyone could enjoy it. 10 Stars for Five Star!!

[OUTSTANDINONE]

Anyone know if this song is on ITunes?

[mchukdez]

@OUTSTANDINONE u can find @ mp3skull

[kdog1too]

I love it!

[bootsamou]

That backing is undoubtedly the work of the Loose Ends guy. Love it.

Why didnt they stick to quality stuff like this & All Fall Down ?... they ended up doin mindless pop stuff like Whenever You're Ready. Brilliant group.

[Bagley60]

OMG I used to love this group!!

[bluedimond101]

this is song

[lasar1968]

80's music rules

[stephanblacksmith]

@lasar1968 You got that right...80's forever

[Psyconess1]

This song was the shit back in the day

[honeegrrl]

Why has not TV One's Unsung did not do a story on them yet?

Unsung is missing a lot of groups like The SOS Band, The Emotions, The Jones Girls, OMG so many.

[basariji]

@honeegrrl hell yea

[honeegrrl]

@basariji But then again, maybe they don't want to do an Unsung.

[vixpub]

@honeegrrl

it sounds like their pop was another Joe Jackson...tyrannical and controlling...u see what it did to poor MJ

[jhampchristopher]

@honeegrrl I THINK THEY WILL GET TO SUM OF THEM

[dcflava74]

@honeegrrl As well as loose Ends,Soul 2 Soul,their should be a black british invasion month on unsung,so many great black british R & B groups came out of the 80,s that im curious to know more about,especially loose Ends,there so much drama that occured withhin the group so many people dont know about.

[memyself2k]

@honeegrrl Don't forget The SYLVERS.

[maxday1000]

@memyself2k yes......
