Amazed we don't have a thread for this, but THERE YOU GO.
The debut Five Star album I still maintain is a) one of the best R&B albums of the 80s and b) really fucking good. It's so overlooked- mainly because of the poppy stuff that came after and gave them a very different reputation. It's also often forgotten how big they were on the US R&B charts at this point and weren't seen as a "pop" act in America at all.
The first six tracks are absolute solid gold, though it tapers off towards the end. I still think Let Me Be The One is one of my favourite songs of all time.
10 Love Takes Over
10 All Fall Down
11 Let Me Be The One
10 System Addict
10 Hide and Seek
10 RSVP
07 Now I'm In Control
07 Say Goodbye
09 Crazy
08 Winning
And here's a nice photo of the album on my balcony this morning, which is what inspired this thread...
