The Untold Story Of Uptown Town Top Ranking With Althea & Donna

Althea & Donna, singers and songwriters of the song “Uptown Top Ranking,” which climbed to the top of the British singles chart in 1977, are one of two female Jamaican acts to hit #1. The duo told World Music Views in this exclusive interview that they have not been paid any royalties for 47 years for the original recording, which was done in Joe Gibbs studio, just above Cross Roads, Kingston in 1977. That recording is now owned by German record company BMG and the publishing controlled by Round Hill, as a result of a series of acquisitions.
