AllMusic[1]

Hi-Five is the debut album by the American vocal group Hi-Five.[3][2] Released on September 25, 1990, the album peaked at number thirty eight on the Billboard 200 albums chart. Driven by the hit singles "I Just Can't Handle It" (R&B #10), "I Like the Way (The Kissing Game)" (#1 R&B/Pop), "I Can't Wait Another Minute" (R&B #1, Pop #8) and "Just Another Girlfriend" (R&B #41), the album received an RIAA platinum certification. Also, Hi-Five is the only album to feature original Hi-Five member Toriano Easley, who was arrested for first-degree murder and manslaughter after the album was recorded but just before it was released. Easley is heard sharing lead vocals on "The Way You Said Goodbye", "Rag Doll", "I Can't Wait Another Minute", and "I Know Love". In the video for "I Can't Wait Another Minute", Easley's replacement Treston Irby lip-syncs Easley's part.
