Fact : i was the 6th member of the band, of course at the time we was known as " 6 star" any way 27 of pints of lager after a gig up north, and a few hasty words said about my dance steps, and 6 became 5.And the rest is history. you can read all about this in my soon to be published story. " Kiss my Brown star and pay me the money you owe me"
remember that 80s game show in the uk called '3-2-1' presented by ted rogers? five star did a live performance on that show performing this very song. after the song, lorraine gave the contestants a clue to win the top prize which i think was a car. i can't believe i can still remember that!
@ps3boy138277 I think it was slightly the other way around. Just like Michael got his red military jacket from Adam Ant he got some moves from Jeffrey Daniels and 5 star. If you don't believe me then check the dates. Michael was great without a doubt but these teenagers(5 star) were great too.
@Picture111 They were bordering on perfect. I still haven't seen a group so synchronized and with such meaningfull lyrics to date. If one were to compare them to Michael i'd say Where he was unpredictable in freestyle they were right on point and unique in their own way. Still find me a better group. lol
proof they were mixed please cus i went to school with their cousin who never mentioned they were mixed. Also checked out the bio, no mention of mixed hertiage.
Watch the YouTube video entitled "Five Star at the Salon" - the second one where Lorraine is talking to the guy with the beard. He says Doris had some great plastic surgery done and Lorraine is shocked. She says Doris hasn't had any surgery, and then he says they look quite European. Lorraine says that's because their mother is Indian.
yeah i remember these lived and braught up in romford in essex and failed when they moved to the states which is a shame really some really good sounds from this amazing group, first group to start advertising on there video's for major opanies like jewellery. but the big question is what is Stedman, Lorraine, Denise, Doris and Delroy Pearson doing for a career now
Denise still sings. She was in Thriller live last year. That was a tribute show to Michael Jackson. Sted, Den and Doris all have MySpace pages. Denise has a video here on youtube. It's called Here Iam. She look's great too.
Come on pam you need to find the time to meet me more. Your getting so bossy. You keep getting your own way . lol. love you pammy pamster. xxx next song olivia newton john hopelessy devoted to you .......not journey lol
was a huge fan of five star.. i use 2 practice 4 hrs on end learning the moves step by step.. was just as good as them in the end.. that was over 25yrs ago lol. in my head i can stil do it... not sure if i can physically now tho hmmm ?? :/
This entire album was underrated. I wonder if it was promoted properly in the US. My mom had the 12 inch somehow, I love this song, I had a phat crush on Denise.
They had alot of great music some didn't get aa heavy rotation on radio. Only All FALL DOWN,I CAN"T WAIT ANOTHER MINUTE and WHENEVER YOU READY had a sinificant amount of videoplay on BET.I personally didn't think that they were from the UK.They had a very strong American sound. They were a hot singing group in the early 80's but they were sort overshadowed by groups like New Edition,The Jets, and Debarge that were very popular in the US.Which all of them were J5 clones that 5star was critic for
I agree, but something about them truly stuck out to me. This "Silk and Steel" album was great. "Cheesy" but so very good you forgot how cheesy it really was. Very awesome music and making Denise the lead was a great idea cause her voice made me melt. Commanding and sexy.
Michael Jackson had a lost track that was suppose to be on his BAD album ST like called "Streetwalker"...the base and guitar sounds JUST like this Five Star song. Cool..who did the sound 1st?
Their music was cheesy, but it was GOOD cheesy because they are all so talented and likeable. I had a huge crush on Denise through high school, I'm all late.
I cant belive how many 5 star fans are still around. I loved the 80's and 5 star were one of my favourite groups of all times. Their music went well in my Ford Capri at the time. Can any one remember when they were on Swap Shap i think and someone phoned in and started hurling abuse at them over the phone. That was terrible i felt so sorry for them.
Yeah that was stupid, I saw that. I love their album Silk and Steel, they are a very unique group to me. My mother had the 12 inch from the 80's and didn't even realize it until I found it. This is my favorite song though, I listened to it all through High School.
Thanks for posting this = still sounds great after all these years. what do ya say we should start a petition for a comeback tour - if take that and spice girls did it, then so can they!!!
It's cheesy 80's music, but it's very good cheesy 80's music. Five Star was very underrated simply becasue they were mainly exposed to the UK. The album "Silk and Steel" is very good, even though it's cheesy 80's music, I love talent, in which they are.
went to see five star when i was 10 /11 yrs old. my brother won tickets through smash hits, They were brilliant and about 3 yrs saw them again on a here and now tour they still have the moves and vocals ace...... but 5 star are now only 3 star.
So where are these guys. I seriously loved them so much, never will we ever find music or artist like these...FIVE STAR RULE. Thank for posting these great videos, brings back many good memories.
I love Five Star and had the ablum on tape with this song on it, but my sister lost it. I was only about 8 at the time and can't remember for the life of me what it was called. Can anyone help me out? I NEED to get this album again! Thanks! :0)
the group doesn't exist anymore but most are still in the music business, apart from Lorraine, Denise and Doris are songwriters for other artists although I think Denise is now carving out a solo career, Sted is supposed to be going solo and Del is a producer in America, they each have their own myspace page as well as an overall Five Star one with some great pics so check them out-the solo music is great too
One of best songs that 5 Star has made i will always Love this Group now this was really a Drama Free Family Group Will always be #1 in my Heart and Soul...(smile)
I work that summer at Stockholm and Gothenburg(16 year old) and this song was nr 1. I bought their record and toke it to Finland.. Fantastic feeling !! This is still making 80`s feeling like it would be here and now! :)
Not everything has to be about the USA...5 star are quite well known in New Zealand too, I have alot of memories from all of their albums, never once did I compare them to the Jacksons. LOVED THEM!!!
I love them. I had a crush on the singer when I was a kid. I still love them. They are not the Jacksons, they are talented in their own right. What happened to them?
Why does everyone have to compare them to the Jacksons.... by the time these guys came out Michael Jackson had Thriller out. I would imagine Five Star would be proud to say they were inspired by the Jackson's and Michael, as many artists are today. Look at Justin Timberlake, Usher the list goes on. But just cos you may be inspired by someone doesn't mean that you don't have talent and ability in your own right.
I still think that the Pearson sisters are absolutely gorgeous. Five Star in my opinion were a talented English soul\pop band. Yes, they did not achieve success in America. Though this was the case it does not mean that they were talentless. One need not necesarily be amazingly talented to crack the American Market, a bit of luck and good PR goes a long way; the Spice Girls did it; though I think the spice girls are beautilful and have nice voices I would not regard them as amazingly talented
Lord sweetie relax a tad, It was just a simple observation on my part. I am still entitled to an opinion. I also believes that she resembles Toney braxton, and that is also an OPINION!
The truth is that these are some fake azz jacksons but without the talent! heffas got on some football uniforms thinkin thats fashion, They need their azz beat with some makeup remover!!
No one made me look anywhere, I was looking up some jackson material and these cunts showed up, and needless to say I was all peeved because I was looking for real talent not some cheap ass 5th runner's up in a highschool talentless show. if you dont want people to reply then turn the comments off. The truth is that they never made it big here in america because they suck balls just like your mama!
Yo mamma jokes, how sad. You stupid herpes infested heffa. If you don't like it fuck off, I'll keep the comments on thanks. Go worship Pedophile Michael, his invisible hairline and unnatural attraction for underage boy and animals.
she went off on Michael Jackson as you put it because the person she was commenting to was talking about him, she didn't just say it out of the blue did she
YOU GUYS STOP GETTING MAD AT THIS PERSON... they do NOT understand FIVE STAR... most people in the US have not heard of them. BUT once they start watching their videos they will be a fan... I was almost the same way... JUST not as harsh... I didn't think they look talentless though.... but still DON't waist energy getting upset
If you are going to make negative comments, you should spell the words correctly. Quit hating on the Pearson family. You must like them if you are taking the time to view the videos. Gill needs to block you
came across their music and videos as a child in Africa. I still find it hard to believe that this group came from England, they were just to cool, inventive, colourful to ever have come out of the British pop\soul music scene in the eighties.
For some reason, everybody, even prick journalists that turn up on these I Love 1986 and 80's programmes, seem to think Silk & Steel was their 1st album. Probably beacuse "System addict", the last single from "Luxury of Life" was their 1st huge hit and was followed so closely by "Can't wait..." just 3 mths later.
funny you should say that, actually did you see when they did a thing about Five Star on Pop Years: 1986, one woman on it was shown rubbing her chin going 'Five Star, don't remember them, who are they', and all i have to say to that is what was the point they were trying to make putting that idiot on tv to talk about someone she hadn't a clue about
Spice Girls,like them but Five Star is where it's at they should have blown uo big in the states. I mean they literally had more hits on one album than Michael Jackson. Come on that right there speaks volumes. Maybe they will get back together and rock us again. I love this jam. WOOOOOOO!
Thanks for the post! I love this group and the song! Grew up in the 80's what can I say 5 star was hot shit back then. Never thought I would see this video in this life time thanks again.
there's a dvd out with most of their videos from Hide and Seek to Shine with bonums material and pics-you can get it on amazon and other shopping sites
Dope! Thanks for posting this:-)

No one made me look anywhere, I was looking up some jackson material and these cunts showed up, and needless to say I was all peeved because I was looking for real talent not some cheap ass 5th runner's up in a highschool talentless show. if you dont want people to reply then turn the comments off. The truth is that they never made it big here in america because they suck balls just like your mama!

Yo mamma jokes, how sad. You stupid herpes infested heffa. If you don't like it fuck off, I'll keep the comments on thanks. Go worship Pedophile Michael, his invisible hairline and unnatural attraction for underage boy and animals.

Wow you went off on the King of Pop, the one and only Micheal Jackson, just because one of the viewers spoke ill of this group, SAD!!

she went off on Michael Jackson as you put it because the person she was commenting to was talking about him, she didn't just say it out of the blue did she

YOU GUYS STOP GETTING MAD AT THIS PERSON... they do NOT understand FIVE STAR... most people in the US have not heard of them. BUT once they start watching their videos they will be a fan... I was almost the same way... JUST not as harsh... I didn't think they look talentless though.... but still DON't waist energy getting upset

If you are going to make negative comments, you should spell the words correctly. Quit hating on the Pearson family. You must like them if you are taking the time to view the videos. Gill needs to block you

Sorry but you're wrong they were very talented and could song unlike a lot of crap around the British charts these days

came across their music and videos as a child in Africa. I still find it hard to believe that this group came from England, they were just to cool, inventive, colourful to ever have come out of the British pop\soul music scene in the eighties.

Another fantastic song by Five Star. Is there any way to get their entire collection? Gillian Clayton, could you help here?

There's DVD called 'Five Star Performance', try Amazon or Ebay.
gillianclayton 4 years ago
Is all of their music available somewhere? Not just the "Greatest Hits" stuff, all the original releases. It's impossible to find these days. Thanx.

For some reason, everybody, even prick journalists that turn up on these I Love 1986 and 80's programmes, seem to think Silk & Steel was their 1st album. Probably beacuse "System addict", the last single from "Luxury of Life" was their 1st huge hit and was followed so closely by "Can't wait..." just 3 mths later.

funny you should say that, actually did you see when they did a thing about Five Star on Pop Years: 1986, one woman on it was shown rubbing her chin going 'Five Star, don't remember them, who are they', and all i have to say to that is what was the point they were trying to make putting that idiot on tv to talk about someone she hadn't a clue about

Spice Girls,like them but Five Star is where it's at they should have blown uo big in the states. I mean they literally had more hits on one album than Michael Jackson. Come on that right there speaks volumes. Maybe they will get back together and rock us again. I love this jam. WOOOOOOO!

Thanks for the post! I love this group and the song! Grew up in the 80's what can I say 5 star was hot shit back then. Never thought I would see this video in this life time thanks again.
