Five Star - The Slightest Touch

[Mike(y) W]

Surely this has been done before?!?

The Steps version is better. A total 010/010.

 

[Mike(y) W]

The Steps version is better.

Than the Louise version.

 

[AGinAg (37)]

Than the Louise version.

Than this.

 

[Ellie]

Obvious banger but I still prefer the album version.

 

[Rita]

Absolutely FANTASTIC. No other version comes close.

Obvious banger but I still prefer the album version.

I suppose they HAD to remix it because everyone who was a fan and who should buy the single had the album version of it already.

 

[SystemAddict]

One of the greatest songs of all time (Shep Pettibone Remix).

 

[Kratz]

The Louise version! She really did pad out that Greatest Hits

Utterly magnificent

 

[BoysForSeles]

A classic for sure.

Anyone who doesn’t understand how great “TOUCH ME THAT’S WHERE IT’S AT…” is doesn’t deserve to LIVE

 

[BoysForSeles]

Let’s face it ‘Silk & Steel’ is a behemoth of a pop/soul album (on the whole).

What was the concept of that video? Einstein discovered Five Star, wrote the song, or invented 'Eastenders'? I was never sure.

 

[BoysForSeles]

And TO THINK ‘The Slightest Touch’ was fired out as the SIXTH single from the album.

 

[Mike(y) W]

Let’s face it ‘Silk & Steel’ is a behemoth of a pop/soul album (on the whole).

I was convinced that 'Are You Man Enough' would be the final single from the album (even if I secretly wanted it to be 'Don't You Know I Love It').

 

[BoysForSeles]

I was convinced that 'Are You Man Enough' would be the final single from the album (even if I secretly wanted it to be 'Don't You Know I Love It').

Don’t You Know I Love It was the B side to Can’t Wait Another Minute so it would have earned Doris quite a bit of extra cash on top of the album royalties. They were quite savvy with a lot of their B side choices, if not with how they spent their income.

 

[Rita]

Touch me just one TI-I-I-I-IMME

SAY NO MORE.

There was a really weird Smash Hits article at the time in which they played up to being weird. I can’t remember the exact article but it was on the set of the video and portrayed them as vampires or something. (The article, not the video). It was all TERRIBLY confusing.

It was a US single. There is a Shep Pettibone mix of it as well. I was always surprised they didn’t just toss it out here too.

Mostly fairly boring self- written instrumentals, though. They even got nominated for a Grammy for one of them once.

That’s right, I was more admiring them getting them on there to get those writing credits, Sara and Keren would heartily approve.

Wasn't that the premise of the 'If I Say Yes' video?!?

 

[Sheena]

Wasn't that the premise of the 'If I Say Yes' video?!?

Yes you’re right, but the article wasn’t about that- definitely around the time of The Slightest Touch and on set of that video. It was really odd- they talked about having dead bodies in the house and things. It was all really strange.
