Five Star are a British pop/R&B group, formed in 1983. Comprising siblings Stedman, Lorraine, Denise, Doris and Delroy Pearson, they were known for their flamboyant image, matching costumes and heavily choreographed dance routines.
Between 1985 and 1988, Five Star had four top 20 albums and 15 Top 40 singles in the UK, including the top 10 hits “Can’t wait another minute”, “Find the time” and “Rain or shine”. They won the 1987 Brit Award for Best British Group.

They bought Stone Court from my aunt and uncle. I remember meeting them several times as I was living at Stone Court at the time. I had no idea who they were. They were friendly but living LARGE. I left England soon after and was always curious about them.
In my opinion, THE most talent group of the era putting out great song after great song. Luxury Of Life and Silk & Steel are a must have album for any fan of 80’s music.
They were an incredibly young and talented pop group, They should re-form with the right management they still have what it takes to make an impact – come on you guys give it a go, you can’t manufacture talent you either have it or you don’t and 5 Star had bags of it.
A very talented beautiful family. I enjoyed their music and felt they should have been bigger and gone longer.
5 star was one of the best groups ever.. l still listen to their music… hide and seek and crazy are my favorites but l did like most of their songs..
I really enjoyed their music. I always wondered what happened to them. They were one of my favorite singing groups of the 80s. And the Jets too
