Five Star - "Luxury Of Life" (The LP)

[620 Soul Train]

Hide And Seek

Another recording of New Edition's song from their 1984 LP, and yes it was released (Five Star's) as a single, I have the original 12", unfortunately it charted nowhere.
Video clip on BET in 1984

Crazy
Released as a single, again uncharted, also a video clip on BET. This is the first song that made me take notice of them, and I was wondering why did not recieve intial radio airplay, a number of my peers used jam to this thanks to BET. Yet it was not until the summer of 1985 when I was hugely excited not knowing who they were and where they from that I heard this on the radio just weeks after it was featured on Video Soul....

All Fall Down

Peak #14 R&R Urban Chart
#59 Billboard Pop
A Nick Martinelli production

Let Me Be The One

I thought for sure it was going to be a number one R&B hit on the week of my golden birthday, but it stalled at number two for only two weeks.

Produced by Nick Martinelli

Love Take Over

#9 Billboard R&B

Excellent song!

System Addict

Poppy UK release single peaking at number 3, their seond biggest UK hit.

R.S.V.P.
#45 UK

A moderate song but not too exciting.

The Rest:

Say Goodbye (a nice ballad)
Now I'm In Control (a poppy midtempo song)
Winning (great track that listening to this morning)

"All Fall Down" is the only song I remember hearing... I liked it.

[Hervard]

Me too. I remember it charted on Top 40 Satellite Survey, which I used to listen to occasionally in late 1985. I thought it was so/so, but their song that just missed the Top 40 a year later, "Can't Wait Another Minute" was much better.

This album had so many great UK hits. Nick Martinelli was a production beast at this time. It's a shame they didn't have the same level of success they did in the UK in the US.
