Hi-Five is an American R&B quintet from Waco, Texas, renowned for their harmonious blend of R&B, soul, pop, and new jack swing. Formed in 1989, the group achieved significant success with their 1991 hit "I Like the Way (The Kissing Game)," which topped the Billboard Hot 100 chart. Their debut album, produced by Teddy Riley, went platinum, featuring other notable singles like "I Just Can't Handle It" and "I Can't Wait Another Minute." Despite facing challenges, including the tragic loss of lead singer Tony Thompson in 2007, Hi-Five reunited in 2012 to honor his legacy. Their enduring appeal lies in their smooth vocals and timeless melodies that continue to resonate with audiences. ([en.wikipedia.org](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hi-Five?utm_source=openai))
