Band History
1990, formed the teen band Hi-Five, which presented a mixture of R & B and pop. Thus the attempt to repeat the success of the Jackson 5 began.
The debut album Hi-Five in 1991 placed in the top 40 of the Billboard charts. The single I Like the Way ( The Kissing Game ) conquered even position 1 in the U.S. and number 41 in Germany. Shortly thereafter, Easley left the group and was replaced by Treston Irby. The result Singles I Can not Wait Another Minute (8th place ), Just Another Girlfriend ( 88th ) and She's Playing Hard to Get ( 5th place) also made it into the native charts.
With the albums Keep It Goin 'On (1992 number 82 ) and Faithful (1993 Course 105) could be achieved only small successes. The singles Quality Time ( # 38 ) Unconditional Love ( number 92 ) and Never Should've Let You Go ( # 30 ) also fell short of expectations. Mid-1990s, the group split up.
Later, Thompson, who was now also active solo formed the band in 2005 and re- released the album The Return. In 2007, he died in Waco, Texas, from an overdose of indeterminate drugs.
