Jamaican duo Althea and Donna seemed to catch all of the best currents in reggae music at the time--reggae, roots, rubadub and DJ styles, along with UK lovers rock vibes. "Uptown Top Ranking" was such a smash that it helped propel the nascent dancehall style to the front, and also open new doors for women performers in that field.
