Clark, an original member of Hi-Five, has died.

Marcus is a member of Hi-Five. He died from an illness at a hospital in Texas.

He tells us that 30 years ago in Florida, a car crash left him paralyzed from the neck down, making him unable to walk. He developed an illness that spread through his body.

He was in and out of the hospital for the last 2 weeks of his life.

We had some amazing phone conversations in the past and some great visits when I was in Waco, according to the band's musical director. I will keep them forever.

Other than him and Marcus, they also had bandmates Tony Thompson, Russell Neal, and Toriano Easley. They reached the top of the charts in 1991 with their hit, "I Like The Way (The Kissing Game)."

The man was 49.

I am sad.
