A huge part of what made it fun, was because of Roderick ‘Pooh’ Clark,” Jonathan Kinloch, the group’s former manager, said in a statement. “He was the serious member, who made sure that the guys together worked hard.

But also, we’re going to have a fun time as teenagers!”“Pooh was the most athletic of them all,” wrote Martinez Little, Hi-Five’s musical director, in a Facebook tribute. “In basketball he could stand right under the basket and jump straight up and dunk the ball.

Our play fights and Super Soaker battles were epic. We also used to battle each other hard on the Bball court in most cities.
