Five Star - Love Take Over (Video)

[@deskwerks]

This group is criminally underrated! I love Five Star! And if you have headphones, listen to the tight/hard bass lines in this (as well as in their other hits)

[@joesena913]

100% accurate

[@housexhousexhouse]

the music production is so great. so on point.

[@tibouzankor1997]

Not true at all. They were not only big in Europe but in Southern Africa at least, I know for a fact they were huge too. Loved them😊

[@DESKWERKSJB]

​@tibouzankor1997 True, I meant they were underrated in the USA.

[@mstreid50]

@deskwerks the other British group Loose Ends were their producers. You can hear their style in some songs. Especially “All Fall Down”.

[@valentinelove2654]

I would love to see an in-depth documentary about them.

[@brandonleemoss]

You can find it on KZbin they were basically watched over by their father😊 They're basically the what if version of the Jackson family if it was Janet Jackson who got an all-girls group before she entered the control era❤

[@scruffyo4460]

I’d watch a documentary about them but ONLY if it includes the notorious Going Live! phone-in where someone (Elliott?) told them exactly what he thought of them 😂

[@RoxiesPurposeDesign]

This group was definitely underrated still listening in 2024

[@bobbyboy872]

Good in the day, tell what tho, still good to listen to.

[@TerraRyzinglives]

All Fall Down and Let Me Be the One had a buzz in the states. All of the 70s style Jackson groups were cool but after Triumph and Destiny they weren't doing either. Like New Edition found their footing in New Jack Swing and was able to thrive. 5 Star should have got a Jimmy Jam and Terry, or on that side linked with George Michael and his camp. Or the Acid Jazz stuff. I think Denise could have done well with that

[@marcushaynes843]

Great group! I was a night club DJ in the eighties and these 5 always packed the dance floor. I’m so glad I grew up with music like this .there will never be another era like the eighties. Now you five need to get back together. And show the world how it’s done.

[@jukingeo]

This album was one of the best recorded albums (Luxury Of Life) of its time. If you can get a hold of the RECORD and play it on a sound system with speakers that have 15" woofers, you will see what I mean. The bass is fantastic and will blow you away. The mids and highs are crisp and clear. IMHO, all are balanced very well. The music you just have to get up and move to. Just about every song on the album is great. One of the best 80's groups. Sadly they didn't last long.

[@johnfredericks4376]

Diaval They actually perform in different groupings...two sisters, one brother.... two brothers, two sisters etc. They have more current videos of them in KZbin

[@Peter95111]

Agreed. This was one of those albums where practically every song was great.

[@VEPNL-Lucien-Vrolijk]

This U.K. band was really FANTASTIC I loved EVERY song they released..!! This song “Love Take Over” is actually produced and mixed by a Dutch team called The Limit.. they also remixed the Twelve Inch version of this song.. The Limit has one FABULOUS song called “Say Yeah”. Bet it’s on KZbin as well.. go search for it and you’ll hear the resemblance of that song with this one that The Limit produced :)

[@VEPNL-Lucien-Vrolijk]

Actually... “Love Take Over”: Producer, Written-By - Bernard Oattes, Rob van Schaik who ARE The Limit (had a hit with “Say Yeah” in 1984)

[@musicalmelodies3595]

Agreed. I think 5 star caught the right wave at the right time. Excellence 85 through 87. Nothing more, nothing less before that or after.

[@khonrak]

Wow - God bless these guys, here I am sitting alone in an internet cafe in Bangkok - Thailand, listening to this track, sure brings back fabulous memories of England during the 80's, Five Star, had so much style - superb dancing skills - mixed together with their incredible lyrics, has created timeless - refreshing music. I almost forgot just how good these guys were, wish I had a time machine - that would send me back to the Good Old Days ! Thanks for posting such a classic. Good Health, Happiness, Freedom & Peace always.

[@svrsvr6183]

Interesting to read where you did listen to this song. I am now just at home, getting drunk and reliving my youth in the week i retire early, that is i am opting from a drastic career change from being a CFO to becoming a truck driver. Hope your live florishes as well.

[@violet2715]

So talented! They could dance AND sing. I miss the days of enjoying real musical gifts!

[@TheTRAINOR11]

There was a slight innocence to their music. Very good looking people. The sisters were beautiful. But one always stood out to me and still does to this day. Doris, you are one of the most gorgeous women ever to walk on this planet. Truly awesome beauty !

[@michellebloom4205]

Five star is absolutely the best pop group I have ever seen. I grew up listening to their beautiful music from 10 years old until now. They are awesome, classic, beautiful and amazing! Every young person should have a group like this to grow up with.

[@pauldsheppard126]

I totally feel you I was born in 79 and 5 star was me and my sister's induction into the world of pop music and what a class act.. you just cannot get better 💖

[@violetdunn2255]

Take me back lol😍🥰💖 I so miss the good old days

[@BlueSix100]

As an indifferent kid in the 80s I am now rediscovering Five Star in 2022, and I have to say how fantastic their music sounds even today! Quintessentially 80s yet still has the vocals, grooves, the melodies and the production to still sound fantastic even after all these years. Recently downloaded the Silk and Steel album and their remix anthology album - quite shocked at how many great tracks they made! What a talented bunch!👏🏻😍

[@maccagrabme]

And I doubt there is a single black pop band in the "charts" nowadays doing R&B music or anything remotely soulful, all this generation get nowadays is terrible screeching or autotune, child like songs and the like likes of the awful Sam Smith reciting demonic rituals, glad I lived through the 80s.

[@pauloalencar5504]

All fall down ( M & M remix )... very nice !

[@darrellwilliams1991]

If you like them you would love "The Jets" also...they were a family group of musicians from the 80's...just in case you didn't know

Five Star were a great 80's Brit-Pop crossover group in their day. They scored several hits, especially in the states. This was when music was still pure, and even when certain songs said the least, the production was always infectious. Miss that kind of R&B Pop, they just don't make music like this anymore. Reminds me of happier times, everything was explorative in terms of music. Not recycled, real instrumentation, even when it wasn't great! You could never say that you heard it before...just saying!

@David Mander Seriously

[@RocStarr913]

The music business has dramatically changed, especially when major corporations began acquiring all the record labels. It’s become strictly more about what will sell than the quality of the music. Plus how people consume music has drastically changed, which is mainly through streaming apps. Allowing people to monthly subscribe to all the music available on their platform has inevitably devalued the quality of music.
