5.0 out of 5 stars The Legacy that was Five Star, July 31, 2000

By

This review is from: Five Star - Greatest Hits (Audio CD)

One of the best groups to come out of the U.K. during the 1980's, Five Star was Britain's answer to the Jacksons. Composed by a group of siblings and cousins, Five Star became noticeable in the United States after the release of their hits ong "All Fall Down" in 1985. Other songs such as "RSVP," "System Addict," and "Love Take Over" also became memorable songs, however the song that gave this band the respect they deserve was a song about love gone wrong titled "Let Me Be The One." That song which brought Five Star close to the top of the Billboard charts was a beautifully composed song that gives me many memories of the decade that was known as the 1980's.

After they parted ways with RCA/BMG in the late 1980's, this group tried what other artists never had done before, release their albums on their own label. That label, Tent Records, gave Five Star a bit more income, but their hey-day was over, and quietly (except for some scandal involving one of the male members of the band) the band disappeared from the public's sight.

When I ordered a copy of this album, I just confided in my luck that somewhere out there someone would be able to locate a copy of a greatest hits compilation from this awesome British band. Before the emergence of e-commerce, I had to search with an independent musicseller, who found me a copy in Germany. It is a shame that I had to rely on an imported compact disc, for it is a known fact that RCA/BMG never released a greatest hits compilations stateside.

Truly, Five Star had immense talent, and the lead singer simply had one of the most beautiful voices I had ever heard. Their style of funk, pop, and soul made them unique in their own sense, and they always had great outfits in their videos. Purchase this album and discover the greatness of Romford, England's greatest export to world culture--Five Star.

5.0 out of 5 stars ONE OF MY TWO FAVORITE GROUPS, October 17, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Five Star - Greatest Hits (Audio CD)

Five Star and New Edition are my 2 favorite musical groups. Five Star's vocal and their incredible dance routines are second to none. I have enjoyed their music since their inception in the late 80's and continue to enjoy it to this day. I had every album that they have ever made in the USA, but all was destroyed several years ago. I just recently found this website were I can order the greatest hits album, and if there is anyone who knows how I can find a video collection of Five Star VIDEO's, I would greatly appreciate the info. LOVE TAKE OVER is my second favorite video.
