Five Special

About

This Detroit vocal group included lead singer Bryan Banks, the brother of the Dramatics' Ron Banks. Five Special had a promising start to their careers in 1979, as their Elektra single 'Why Leave Us Alone' made it to number nine on the R & B charts. It was their lone big hit. Two other singles just made the R & B Top 30, and they disbanded after the release of their second album 'Special Edition'. The album was produced by Ron Banks, Bryan's brother and contained a track penned by the late Garry Glenn entitled 'Why Not Be Mine For A While'.
