On this day, 4th Feb 1978, ‘Up Town Ranking’ by Althia and Donna was at No.1 on the UK singles chart. It was the Jamaican duo’s only hit, making the teenagers One-hit Wonders. More One Hit Wonders!

They were absolutely dire, couldn't sing, were totally out of tune and anybody who bought the record must have been brain dead !

Sad Sweet Dreamer by Sweet Sensation.

It's a version of Studio One's 'I'm still in love with you'

Considering Althea and Donna had the brilliant Revolutionaries as a backing band, one would have expected a better follow-up.

My contribution to this thread is 'Jig-a-jig' by East of Eden (a novelty track that wasn't like their usual output).

One of my faves - "Fire" by "The Crazy World of Arthur Brown".
