(I Love You) For Sentimental
Reasons |
1945 |
Heart & Soul |
1994 |
Nat's tune from '45 is simply
brilliant jazz. Fifty years later Five Star delivers a great cover. |
| New Edition |
Hide And Seek |
1984 |
Luxury Of Life |
1985 |
As far as I know New Edition never
released this as a single. It's a bad production with (compared to Denise's) poor vocals
by Bobby Brown. |
| Gladys Knight |
Strong As Steel |
1989 |
Between The Lines |
1987 |
From the o.s.t. "Ghost
Dad", starring Bill Cosby. A bit over- produced but great, sometimes too, powerful
vocals by Gladys. |
| Tina Arena |
Strong As Steel |
1990 |
Between The Lines |
1987 |
Fresh uptempo & remixed
version. |

Renti II & Marva King. They released Sentimental as a single in 1990. Marva helped
Denise with the vocal arrangements in 1991. |

Eyes Don't Lie |
1998 |
Eclipse |

I never understood why this song
charted in the UK r&b charts. The three ladies make it three times more boring. At
least Five Star's vocals are stronger on this one! |

Hung Up |
1998 |
Eclipse |

Not a bad song actually. I can
imagine how Denise makes this a beauty with her powerful vocals. |

Price Of Fame |
1999 |
Luxury Of Life |
1985 |
From the album "Hempstead High". This
rap- track contains a sample of Five Star's "Let Me Be The One". |
| Mandy Moore |
Let Me Be the One |
2000 |
Luxury Of Life |
1985 |
Also fed up with those
clone-sounds of Britney/Backstreet/N'Sync? Well, just stick to Five Star's good old soul
version then, and forget Mandy's. |
