Five Letters is a French popgroup linking French Pop with Disco. Producer and label owner Cerrone signed them to Malligator Records in 1980. They blend strong dance grooves with sometimes silly melodies but always clever catchy vocals.
Main man is Claude Vallois, singer , keyboardplayer and arranger. Their biggest hit is 'got got money (and I moo)' released in 1980 also on Uniwave Canada. The strange but seductive track 'ma keen dawn' that same year followed up the success of 'got got money' . A string of 12" and a new album 'yellow nights' were coming out soon after.
The song 'you sky me' is the last I've een as a 12" release of the group. After that pages of their history are blank... their music is not forgotten however. Quality Disco with ze French touch...
