Roderick “Pooh” Clark, a founding member of the R&B group Hi-Five, passed away on Sunday. He was 49 years old.

Following a car accident in 1993, Clark became paralyzed from the chest down. According to TMZ, he developed an infection that spread throughout his body and lingered for some time.

Clark purportedly developed pneumonia in the last two weeks and was in and out of the hospital until his passing.

“OUR BROTHER OG RODERICK POOH CLARK… RIH,” the group wrote in an Instagram post on Monday.

Hi-Five was an R&B quintet formed in 1989 in Waco, Texas by Clark, Thompson, Sanders, Russell Neal, and Toriano Easley, in the style of New Edition.

They’re best known for their chart-topping single “I Like the Way (The Kissing Game),” as well as “She’s Playing Hard To Get” and “Unconditional Love” from the Menace II Society soundtrack, and “I Can’t Wait Another Minute” and “Never Should’ve Let You Go” from the Sister Act 2: Back In The Habit soundtrack.
