Uptown Top Ranking

"Uptown Top Ranking" is a song by Jamaican teenage singers Althea Forrest and Donna Reid, recorded when they were 17 and 18 years old respectively.

[2] Released in 1977, the song comprises the girls ad-libbing to deejay track "Three Piece Suit" by Trinity.

[2][3] It was produced by Joe Gibbs,[2] using a re-recording of the riddim of the 1967 Alton Ellis song "I'm Still in Love", which had already been re-popularised in the 1970s by Marcia Aitken's cover "I'm Still in Love With You Boy", and "Three Piece Suit" by Trinity, to which "Uptown" was an "answer record".

[5] With early championing by Peel and a performance on Top of the Pops, it soon became a surprise hit, reaching number one on the UK Singles Chart in February 1978.

Althea & Donna became the youngest female duo to reach the number-one spot on the UK chart.
