Great song and great video - they all look VERY good in this. Love the clothes the girls are wearing too. This really should've been a bigger hit but this record sadly got no promotion or airplay (just a video review on tv and that was it!) Sadly the record company was not promoting them at this point but they were coming to the end of their contract. This video has features fans and fan club workers in the club scene - lucky things - wish i had been one of them there that day!
This reminds me a LOT of Jody Watley of that period. You could definitely hear Jody's voice on this record...it wouldn't sound quite as good, but...;)
How Come It Was Always The Same Lead Singer? Why Not My Favorite LORRAINE. She Was A Cutie... ; - ]} Five Star Where Huge Here In California USA Growing Up.
A great underrated song, whose production reminds me a little bit of Sheena Easton's "The Lover in Me." This was also the first of their vids wherein Delroy started steppin' out in sleeveless shirts and lookin' seriously fine!
Wow! All I've seen to this point was pop songs. They went R&B on me. Then Denise voce went from cutie pop to soulful passion. The group has way more layers than i thouhgt, and that starts with Denise's vocals.
i always thought it was one of the other sisters who sang this song...not denise..but this video proves me wrong, she just is singing in a lower register than usual..or is she just miming?
I agree with you, people, a charmed group, can't watch them enough, so much to love and endless talent. I love denise voice always, did and hey man, she shoild be an actress, that girl, can perform in a special way.
This is a personal favourite! It also displays the multi-faceted quality of thie distinguished group. They should've been given and I think they should be given OBE's or CBE's for their outstanding contribution to the British and international music industry.
They've been in the business for over 20's years and should also receive lifetime achievement awards for the same category.
I love this song sooooo freaking much!!! The melodies are so tight it exlipmflies the epitome of soul in the early 90's. SO HOT 5 star is my group 4 life
Well if ya gonna have some pash with ya babe to a 5 star song this has to be it,gotta be their most soulful tune,3 cheers to Buster Pearson and his talented (BRITISH) family................
when I first saw the vidoo i didnt care too much for the song BUT after listening to it for several times I actually love it. Its great!!! Try it several times.
Eh? This is so clearly Denise! I think that the recording in general is poor. I bought this new on 7" at the time - still have it! - and the sound was poor on that (and the Greatest Hits album) too! Well done for posting it though! I'd never seen the video! Ta! x
No I base this purely on what I hear (in spite of the sound quality) Denise's voice is more powerful than this... this voice sounds a lot like the one on 'say goodbye', which was Lorraine's as well... but if it's Deniece after all, it's her weakest performance I've heard ('weak' as in: good vs. excellent ;-) )
No, it's definitely Lorraine on the lead, listen how different her voice sounds from Deniece's... and if Deniece were singing it, all the empty spaces between the words would be filled with "uk-tsj-thh", Lorraine hardly does that :P
Lorraine would be proud to hear you say that, but it's definitley Denise. You know that because you've seen the video. LOL@"uk-tsj-thh", yes Denise does that a lot, but not all the time.
this is the first time ive ever seen this video.. some five star fan i must be. i wanted to get inside the screan and dance my butt off thanks gillian kind regards laurease
Dam man, 89 was such a slaming year for music that this one slipped right pass me.

I'm late on commenting on this, I know--so I'll chime in now. I LOVE the hat Denise is sporting. Very chic.
She looks incredible, as always. Always liked the very "happy/sunny" sound of this song. Makes me wanna go play outside. >=)
