Links Are Dead - I Know

I keep getting Emails from people asking me to re-upload the links and music etc. I think people are just getting to those particular pages so are not reading the reason for the dead links.

So I am putting this in place so hopefully people will read it and stop Emailing me about it.

The reason the links are dead is that my account with Media Fire has been closed with all 11,000 files lost. That is why you can not download the things and No I can not re-upload them.

Eventually I will start doing that again when I have found something suitable. In the meantime this blog will be information only blog.

Thank you all

Michaael

Five Star - Can't Wait Another Minute

'Can't Wait Another Minute' is the name of a 1986 hit single by British pop group Five Star.

The single peaked at number 7 in the UK in April of that year and becoming the first release from their million-plus selling second album Silk And Steel.

The video features the band making a human clock, with all five members becoming the "hands" of the clock. The band's car also supposedly breaks down, and are late for a concert. The traffic lights change from "Wait" to "Can't Wait" to reflect the song's title.

Five Star - All Fall Down

'All Fall Down' is the name of a 1985 hit single by British pop group Five Star. The single was the third UK release from their first album Luxury of Life, released in June 1985 and written by Barry Blue and Robin Smith, themselves famous for writing songs for artists in the 1970s.

The video used a technique similar to that of A-ha's 'Take on Me', with a rotoscope type clip.

The single became a breakthrough for Five Star, giving them their first Top 40 entry, peaking at number 15. Their first three single releases had all failed to make the Top 100. The song's b-side, 'First Avenue', won Denise Pearson a Grammy award for best instrumental.

Five Star - Hide and Seek

'Hide and Seek' is the name of a 1984 single by British pop group Five Star.

It was the group's second release, and would be later included on their 1985 debut album Luxury of Life.

The single was written by Gary Bell (who co-wrote their later hit 'System Addict'), and Anne Dudley, one of the UK's top female songwriters and composers. The single wasn't a hit, only charting at number 113 in the UK Singles Chart.

The song was later covered by New Edition in 1984 as part of their self-titled album.

The video to the single featured a colourful setting with an early Five Star logo as a back drop, with the floor resembling the American star and stripes flag, and a very simple (yet impressive) dance routine.

Five Star - Let Me Be Yours

'Let Me Be Yours' is the name of a 1988 hit single by Five Star. Released in November of that year as their intended Christmas single, the track entered the UK Singles charts at number 51 but failed to go any higher. 'Let Me Be Yours' seemed to be liked by both the fans and critics, as it was the group's first ballad since 'Strong As Steel' a year earlier. They tried to return to the simple pop formula that made them famous, but many fans had not forgiven them for the leather clad look of the previous singles.

The video consisted of all five members of the band cleverly changing into one another to prepare for a night out. The song was mainly released to compete with Cliff Richard's 'Mistletoe and Wine', and Bros's double A-side 'Cat Among the Pigeons/Silent Night'. 'Let Me Be Yours' became Five Star's second single so far to miss the Top 40, after a three year run of Top 20 hits. It also became the fourth and final release from their Top 20 album Rock The World, which peaked at number 17 in August 1988.

Five Star - Problematic

'Problematic' is the name of Five Star's very first single, released in October 1983.


The song was performed on BBC TV's 'Pebble Mill At One' show, which brought the band to public attention. According to Five Star's father/manager, Buster Pearson, RCA records were on the phone offering the band a record contract before the end of their performance.

Five Star were asked to perform 'Problematic' on the show as that particular edition was focussing on unemployment, trying to find work, and the problems that come with it. The song was simply about a young girl leaving school, trying to find work. The singles B-Side was called 'Big Funk'. The single failed to chart in the UK.

Five Star - Luxury Of Life



'Luxury Of Life' is the debut album by the pop group Five Star.

The album paired Five Star with fellow musicians Paul Hardcastle, The Limit and Loose Ends. Five Star worked with nine different producers for the album. The album produced four UK top 30 hit singles including the top 3 hit 'System Addict', number 15 hit 'All Fall Down', number 18 hit 'Let Me Be The One' and number 25 hit 'Love Take Over'. There were 3 other singles released from the album that did not make the top 40 in the UK.

Five Star - The Slightest Touch

"The Slightest Touch" released in 1987 by British pop group Five Star, and became the group's third biggest-selling 7-inch record, selling over 175,000 copies. It reached number 4 in the UK Singles Chart and spent nine weeks on the chart. The single was remixed by Shep Pettibone. Just before the release of this track, Five Star won "Best British Group" at The Brit Awards ceremony, which in no doubt spurred "The Slightest Touch" onto a high chart position in the UK. The single became the group's last Top 10 hit and was the sixth single released in the UK from their number one LP Silk and Steel, released in August 1986.
