The Fabulous Five, … Read Full Bio ↴For Boot Camp Klick's rappers use tag The Fab 5.
The Fabulous Five, formed in 1970, is Jamaica's pre eminent popular band, whether measured by record sales at home, hits on the charts, frequency of engagements or major awards won over the years.
Their first recording, "Come Back And Stay", was number one in Jamaica, and in their first year on the road, and for the following two years, they won the only available awards, the Swing Awards for best band of 1971-72, 1972-73 and 1973-74. They also took the El Suzie Award as Joint Top Road and Dance Band for 1975-76 and the RJR Listeners' Award for Best Band in 1980.
They backed Johnny Nash on all the reggae cuts comprising most of his platinum album "I Can See Clearly Now". Two singles from that album, "Guava Jelly" and "Stir It Up", established Bob Marley as a major songwriter on the international scene.
Fab 5 have enjoyed an endless succession of hits in Jamaica and the "ethnic" markets of North America.
In their early years such songs as "Chirpy Cheep", "Shaving Cream", "Oh, Dad" and "Love Me For A Reason", and their musicality and showmanship made Fab 5 the rage on the dance and show circuits.
More recently, they have been kept on top by the likes of "Yu Safe", "Ring Road Jam", "Feeling Horny", "Computer Mad", "What The Police High Command Can Do", "Jamaican Woman", "Psalms", "All Night Party", "Mini", "Sweat", "Don't Wear None", "Freeze", "Good Buddy", "Mango" and their "Live" series.
Their nineteen albums have been as successful as their singles, and their multi award winning soca album "Yu Safe" was probably the most popular album produced in Jamaica in the decade of the '80s. A CD of some of their biggest hits ‑ "Fab 5 Greatest Hits" has recently been released along with five of their newest CD albums - "Good Buddy," the massively successful "Fab 5 Live - The Ultimate Vintage Jamaican Party Mix ... Part 1" and the equally successful follow-ups“…Part 2” and “…Part 3” as well as their soca smash "Shape". “Dugu-Dugu” their all-reggae release preceded their all-ska album “Ska Time” proving once more the band’s versatility.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Baby that's the time i crave to hold you tight
For you gone oh gone so far away
Please come on come on back to me and stay
Stay right here please i need you my dear
I've one and only i'd wait in vain
For it you and you alone i have to be the first and everlasting love
These lyrics are a plea for someone to return to the person who is singing. The singer mentions that they miss the person who has gone away, and that they long to hold them tight. The singer needs this person to come back and stay because they are the singer's one and only love. The singer will wait in vain for the person to return because they are the person's first and everlasting love.
On a deeper level, these lyrics express the pain and longing that can come from being separated from the person you love. The use of words like "crave" and "need" express just how strong these feelings can be. The singer's use of repetition – "come on come on back to me and stay" – emphasizes just how desperate they are for the person to return.

When the stars come out to shine at night
During the nighttime, when the stars appear in the sky
Baby that's the time I crave to hold you tight
During this time, I strongly desire to embrace you tightly
For you gone oh gone so far away
You have left and traveled a long distance away from me
Please come on come on back to me and stay
I implore you to return to me and remain by my side
Stay right here please I need you my dear
I desire for you to reside here as I am reliant upon your presence
I've one and only I'd wait in vain
I possess a sole individual I'll futilely wait for
For it you and you alone I have to be the first and everlasting love
Out of all others, you are the one that holds my first and eternal affection
Wherever you're please come back for you're only one I'll wait for
No matter your location, I request your return for I shall wait solely for you
