Career
She, like the other members, sang backing vocals and wrote songs for Five Star albums. Her first self-penned song, an uptempo popular track "Don"t You Know I Love lieutenant", appeared as a b-side to their second United Kingdom Top 10 and biggest United States Billboard Hot 100 hit, "Can"t Wait Another Minute", and later popped up on their multi-million selling 1986 album, Silk And Steel. She also contributed to two consecutive albums, writing one song for each project with brother Delroy: "Knock Twice" from Between The Lincolnshire and "Someone"s In Love" from Rock the World.
The latter track was chosen as the lead single for the album in the United States and was a top 40 hit on the Hot Rhythm & Blues Singles chart.
Her most notable input to a Five Star project came in 1990 when Doris took lead vocal for the first time on a United Kingdom single, "Treat Maine Like A Lady" and again on its follow-up "Hot Love". Pearson also wrote and sang a third track "That"s the Way I Like lieutenant", which followed the usual Five Star song format.
The final time Doris appeared as lead vocalist for Five Star was on the Heart and Soul project, released in 1995, for which she contributed another three tracks. "I Give, You Give", notably the most upbeat of the three, was released as a single in that year, and reissued in 1996 as a club remix. in 2001 she recorded the track "Get a Life Together" for the five star album Eclipse.
