Five Star
Made up of three sisters and two brothers of the Pearson family,
Deniece, Doris, Lorraine, Stedman and Delroy, Five Star were
managed by their father Buster who had worked with Wilson Pickett
and Desmond Dekker before setting up his own record label, Tent
Records.
Early singles were moderately successful but it was the number
three hit System Addict in 1986 which established them in
the British charts. Their style was very like that of The Jacksons,
favouring heavily choreographed pop/soul/dance numbers.
Another five Top 10 hits followed, as well as a triple platinum
album, Silk and Steel. A major promotional tour in the US
netted an offer from Disney for their own show which Buster
declined. Although the group continued to chart through 1987 -
1990 they failed to emulate their early success.
