The Fab 5 Band
Renowned for their enduring blockbuster hits such as Secret Lovers, If Your Heart Isn’t In It and Love Always, Atlantic Starr emerged in the 70s with a funk-disco sound but found success in the ’80s with adult contemporary ballads.
This R&B outfit has been described as “one of the most consistently successful soul bands of the 80s, with a basketful of memorable songs that still sound good today”. Current members include the Lewis brothers, Wayne and Jonathan, Melissa Pierce and L’john Epps.
Having thrilled Jamaican audiences at the Jamaica Jazz Festival in 2009, Atlantic Starr will be re-connecting with and mesmerising their legions of adoring fans.
