Hi-Five was signed to Jive Records and released their first album, Hi-Five, in 1990. The album went multi-platinum and was produced by award-winning hitmaker Teddy Riley; it included such singles as "I Just Can't Handle It", "I Can't Wait Another Minute", and their biggest hit to date, "I Like The Way (The Kissing Game)", which went to #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 and the Billboard R&B chart. The group enjoyed mainstream success and received comparisons to many of their R&B counterparts, namely New Edition.
Hi-Five's second LP, Keep It Goin' On, came out in 1992. Though not as successful as their debut effort, several tracks from this album, including "She's Playing Hard To Get" and the R. Kelly-penned "Quality Time" got major airplay. Shortly after this album was released, Roderick "Pooh" Clark was involved in a near-fatal automobile accident. In 1993, Hi-Five emerged with a third album, Faithful, which featured the songs "Unconditional Love" and "Never Should Have Let You Go".
After Hi-Five disbanded around 1994, Thompson released a solo album, Sexsational. He scored a minor hit with "I Wanna Love Like That".
In 2005, Thompson re-incarnated Hi-Five with four new members, one of whom is his younger brother, Jordan. Their new album The Return was released in 2006 on Thompson's independent label, N'Depth.
Unfortunately, on June 1st, 2007, the lead singer Tony Thompson passed away in his hometown of Waco, TX. During this time, Tony Thompson was working on a reunion.
Tony's vision is now coming to fruition with the leadership of long-time friend and band mate, "Trus" (Treston Irby) who has retooled Hi-Five to preserve the signature 90's sound and create new music for listeners born in the 90's. They are now in the studio and preparing to drop a new album on Irby's Bronx Most Wanted label.

Hi-Five Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You know I can't stay too long my dear
We can plan our great escape to better days
Then we'll rendezvous to our favorite place
So tell me can we fly away
Far from here I cannot stay
Where all of our worries fade away
It'll be our own little getaway
Find whats on Jupiter and Mars
as long as i can have you by my side
I can just relax and enjoy the ride
Take me for a ride
Under starry skies
Till our days run dry
I wish time could stop
While i'm here inside your arms
But the world just won't let up
So baby can we fly away from here
You know I can't stay too long my dear
We can plan our great escape to better days
Then we'll rendezvous to our favorite place
So tell me can we fly away
Far from here I cannot stay
Where all of our worries fade away
It'll be our own little getaway
Maybe we can reach out to the stars
find what's on Jupiter and on Mars
As long as i can have you by my side
I can just relax and enjoy the ride
Baby can we fly
Fly away from here
You know I can't stay
Stay too long my dear
So baby can we fly
Baby can we fly
