    Boyfriend has just branded Uptown Top Ranking "one of the worst songs ever".

    I like it although the record sounds better than this ToTP effort.

    Noooooo! He's so wrong. :eek: (But you're right about the record sounding better)

    Wasn't this the first reggae song to top the UK charts?

    He has as I play it from time to time.

    He can't stand "Oh Lori" either which I like a lot.

    Indeed.

    I had an immediate mental picture of Cliff Michelmore in the Caribbean.

    Wasn't Jill Dando starting out and doing OBs for them along with Sue Lawley at about this time?

    Probably The Israelites by Desmond Dekker and The Aces in 1969

    That was The Israelites by Desmond Dekker (who, until he died, lived quite near me).

    "Double Barrell" by Dave and Ansell Collins might also be considered.
