  • Dope! Thanks for posting this:-)

  • it's not CHEESY LoL

  • My favorite five star song!

  • - omqq , lovee thisx sonq . !

  • Dayum... I was soooo in love with her.

  • gee this brings back memories

  • 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"

  • i love you guys come back.

  • I loved this as a school kid!!

  • i always remember the comparisons to her and janet ,,got to love the 80's

  • the best group of all time!!!

  • Oh, let me remember. 1986, I think, I was 12 going on 13 when I first got into these guys. I also loved The Jets. ha.. 'Curiosity'.

  • Thanks again Gillian

  • oh memories, fantastic. thanks for the post.

  • it been a long time . what ever happen to Five Star.

  • this song is on gta 4: the ballad of gay tony , as apart of vice city radio! classic song right here!

  • Shoulder pads to the max!

  • 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!

  • This video is sooooo 80s.

    And those outfits.........

    I love it!

  • they're copying michael jackson a bit

  • @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 True...

  • @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

  • Five Star are MIXED??

  • Jamaican and indian

  • @Aquarian231990 I think their mother is mixed with Indian with black and from Jamaica. Quite a few Indians in Jamaica.

  • @Picture111 yeah agreed my bestfriend was indian and jamaican nice mix

  • @Picture111 Most of the Jamaican restaurants are def East Indian... And they usually have "jerk goat" or "plantain samosas"...

  • Why becouse their skin is lighter and they have more eurocentric features?

  • Mixed race people always seem to be the most attractive as Five Star prove.

  • 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.

  • I was 13 at the time this group was out and had plenty "wet dreams" about Denise.... LOL.... Love this group...

  • lmao!!!!

  • 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.

  • Oh my freakin gawd.

    I forgot about this song until playing Ballad of Gay Tony a few days ago.

  • haha....no wait.......HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!

  • Hell yeah.

  • Nostalgasm!! As corny as this may sound; I give it five stars. That was a five star preformance.

  • good one lol!!!

  • They are hot!!!!

  • A CHILDHOOD-Reminder!!!

    Their style at this time was so cool!!

    One of the best dance videos in history!!!

    Thanks 4 sharing!!

  • 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

  • cute group, they had some nice songs, this was my fav.

  • these guys rocked. I remember them so well. made my childhood

  • The lead singer is hot!

  • but where are they now? what a shame .

  • Five Star used to be my favorite group,i still like listening to then now

  • 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.

  • Yes.. We had this Album in the U.S. They were a rising young group, but they stopped marketing the music in the mid 90's

  • 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.

  • I still love this song !

  • Gillian u are a godsend for this! anyone know if 5 star had any live concert videos? I'm in CA. and i tried Amoeba music but no luck.

  • The 86 Crunchie tour and 87 Ultrabrite tour were released onVHS. 5starlux channel has lots of live videos.

  • @gillianclayton

    I went to Wembley to see them (Ultrabrite tour) and met them afterwards.

    I was about 35 then but luvved them !

  • @gillianclayton anyone have I really did it this time to upload?

  • @tatt2boy2000 try amazon

  • 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?

  • Love them..come back 5 star x

  • The girls looked much better once they died their hair! Love this vid, even remember the routine!

  • They actuall yhad their hair dyed on their first album Luxury of Life...

  • Bobby Brown (R&B singer from New Edition group) totally BIT this vid idea. I saw it on VH1 Soul a week ago, it was a song for Ghostbusters II movie

  • the real mccoy...i remember jivin' to its beat like there was no tomorrow...gosh i was only 5 in 1995

  • Brilliant! 5 star song & vid indeed!

  • I Remember the Time 18 Years old

    i miss my tape recorder with my 5* tape

    great group- i love it

  • cool vid for 1986...I was 6 y.o.

  • This video is pretty advanced for 1986.

  • What the hell happened to this GREAT band?Bad management?

  • great song, great group. wow 23 years ago?? unbelieveable. 1986 was such a great year for them too. number 1 album. 5 top 15 hits in uk. etc.etc.

  • brings alot of memories back

  • Remember playing this over n over on my sony walkman n going thru loads n battery's!

    Loved this song n still do!!!!!!

  • Love the 80s style cues, I know it sounds corny but I'm still a big fan of the 80s look.

    The Miami Vice styled suits, the Balli Shoes without socks look " that went along with it. Bring all that back.

  • My favourite 5 star song! Great video, great song, great moves. I love it! Can't believe it's 22/23 years old!

  • Yay loved 5 star!

  • i agree..bring em back .. the god old days..loved em ..used to dance to the videos....copy all the moves ..lol.. x

  • 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 have always loved them! thanks to u tube i found more songs that i like!

  • Funny how my nick name was always doris lmao

  • Still cool!

  • 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!!!

  • hafta get my five star album out after this.

  • I love this song !

  • Anybody know who is playing guitar on this one? sounds like alan murphy ?

  • DAMMIT DORIS FINE IN THIS ONE...

  • Is it just me or does anyone else think that the tempo could do with being a bit faster to give it a bit more excitement?

  • 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.

  • this is my song

  • i like the white and red outfits they wore in this one.

  • Wow, this bring back great memories.

  • This was my Five Star choon. Dammit i'm gonna have to dig out the album.

  • would love to have seen lorraine do a duet with michael jackson in the late 80's!!! they would have knocked the roof out for sure.

  • 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.

  • a legend!

  • Where do i get these songs? Can't find them anywhere... :(

  • you can download them on itunes or buy their greatest hits from ebay or amazon

  • old but aw some great song dude

  • five star - silk and steel !

  • 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)

  • Thanks so so much Gillian for posting these videos and making me so happy to see this amazing group again....they should comeback!

  • Does this group still exist? I have not heared from this group in a very long time. I loved it back in the day.

  • 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

  • Ty for the info. How popular was the group back then.

  • I liked this song way back in the 80's. And thank goodness Stedman, doesn't look like Michael Jackson in this video.

  • Wow the lead singer looks like Toni Braxton.

  • written by paul gurvitz & nick trevisick

  • Is their mother from India?

  • She was born in Jamaica and she's Indian.

  • I'd forgotten how fab 5Star were....thanks for videos!

  • 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)

  • Incredible song and prob my fave 5 star track, although they did so many good uns it is easy for one to change one's mind.

  • i absolutely love this song 5 star is soawesome.

  • 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! :)

  • Well said chrmdmumof2 :) i say get a vid of these guys show them to your kids one day and say, thats what real talent is..

  • MY OPINION...

    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!!!

  • the jackson have their things and the five star are their own person so lets leave it there!

  • 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?

  • this video reminds me of the power rangers.. cause of the colorful background and karate style dance moves.... i love this video... they look cute

  • 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 LOVE IT

  • 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

  • They were just more fortunate in UK and perhaps Europe as whole.

  • They look like vanity apalonia and latoya jackson

  • They've got to look like somebody... they cant look like themselves?

  • 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!

    Oxygen is free, so take a deep breath!

  • Ha ha! Maybe you need to chill if you don't like my reply.

  • 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!!

  • Oh dear, did sugar daddy force you to type five star into the search box? If you don't like it fuck off heffa.

  • 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 have a blatant disrespect towards females Yassylane. Shame on You

  • 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.

  • They are English black with Caribbean roots.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • myspace dot com fivestarofficial is soon to release some albums for download. Ebay is good too.

  • ty gillian

  • That really is the vaguest approximation of the word 'guessed.' I genuinely am a sausage-fingered cunt.

  • Wow, I would never have guseed they did their own choreography and designed their own clothes.

  • Now that I am livin in London, I like it even more !

    Tune !!!!!

  • 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

  • lol

  • 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

  • I found the DVD on amazon for the ridiculously high price of $75.

  • LOL....Jackson 5 wannabe's

  • Best British black performers ever!Should have been HUGE in the States!

  • I dont know how they wer'nt,yet the spice girls were makes no sense.

  • Love it!

  • i did not know they did this video they got to be in the history books they made a video for every song on there first album

  • this one is from their second album, they made six vids for their first album and seven for the second

  • this is from the first album i still have the cassette this is the song after R.S.V.P

  • This is from Silk and Steel, the second album.

  • sorry

    !!!!!

  • I heard Delroy had a sex change? Is this true?

  • What did he change into?

  • That's hilarious!

  • Best song by them.
