The Joe Gibbs produced Uptown Top Ranking is a classic song by althea and donna which was a big hit in 1977. Althea Forrest and Donna Reid were 17 and 18 respectively when the song was bubbling on the charts. This album reissue is full of the style from the golden age of reggae.Aalthea and Donna helped blaze the trail for other female artists. Produced and engineered with Karl Pitterson at the controls. Musicians like Sly and Robbie, Earl 'chinna' Smith, Bernard 'touter' Harvey, Scully, Tommy Mccook, Vin Gordon and Herman Marquis provide the crucial instrumental journey. It captures the weekend style, philosophy and mating habits of a generation of West Indian teens, creating a snapshot as charmingly naive and culturally valuable as the Beach Boys' depictions of Californian surf culture.
