The Darts - It’s Raining (1978) - TROS Top 50 - TopPop
Darts are a nine-piece British doo-wop revival band that achieved chart success in the late 1970s and early 1980s. The London-based band had a number of UK top 20 hits including three successive number twos with revivals of early US rock and roll, R&B and original songs
Founded in 1976, by Den Hegarty along with Griff Fender (real name: Ian Collier), Rita Ray (real name: Lydia Sowa) and Horatio Hornblower (real name: Nigel Trubridge), all former members of the band Rocky Sharpe and the Razors (pre-Rocky Sharpe and the Replays). Joining the band was Iain “Thump“ Thomson, George Currie and John Dummer, all ex-members of the John Dummer’s Blues Band. The line-up was completed by William “Hammy“ Howell and ex-Mickey Jupp singer Bob Fish. They built up a large following playing clubs and universities, although their break came after they appeared on Charlie Gillett’s show on BBC Radio London in October 1976
Covering 1950s rock and roll hits, they scored their first UK hit in November 1977 with a medley of “Daddy Cool“ (originally the b side of the single ’Silhouettes’, a US 1955 hit for The Rays) and Little Richard’s 1957 hit “The Girl Can’t Help It“. More cover versions followed in 1978 with “Come Back My Love“ (originally recorded by US R&B group The Wrens in 1955), and “The Boy from New York City“ (originally a US hit for The Ad Libs in 1965). Their next single of 1978 was an original song “It’s Raining“ written by band member Griff Fender (real name Ian Collier)
