The Rubettes



The Rubettes were an English pop band of the 1970s. As a trademark, they were wearing on stage white suits and cloth caps. Their first release, "Sugar Baby Love", was an instant hit remaining at number one in the UK for four weeks in May 1974 and remains their best-known record. The album "Sugar Baby Love" was sold in around 500,000 copies in the UK and three million copies globally. Two million copies were sold in France alone, an achievement matched by no other British group! Maybe their French style caps contributed a little bit :)

In 2008, "Sugar Baby Love" was declared to be the most successful oldie of all times by the German television station RTL!

They also had other hits, but none of them reached the success of "Sugar baby Love".

Here are two that I particularly like: "Juke Box Jive" and "Tonight" :)
