City Boy disbanded in '82, but their body of work remains a cult-classic milestone in late '70s melodic rock. Their stacked hooks & intricate vocal arrangements are a heck of a good preview of the iconic production style Mutt Lange would unleash on '80s radio rock. #CityBoy #OneHitWondered

City Boy never returned to the US #Billboard #Top40. Later in 1978, “What a Night” reached #39 in Britain, while 1979’s ambitious The Day the Earth Caught Fire topped out at #67 in the UK. #CityBoy #OneHitWondered #MusicSky

Formed in Birmingham, City Boy began as an acoustic folk group called Back in the Band before signing to Vertigo. To secure the record deal, they expanded into a slick progressive pop group with dual lead vocalists, childhood pals Lol Mason & Steve Broughton. #CityBoy #OneHitWondered

English rockers City Boy spent much of the ‘70s mixing progressive rock, power pop & those big vocal harmonies. They released several critically acclaimed albums, but here in America they’re remembered for one #Top40 hit: the 1978 Mutt Lange-produced “5.7.0.5.” #CityBoy #MuttLange #OneHitWondered

The week ending September 9, 1978, Birmingham, England rock group City Boy earned US #OneHitWonder honors when their UK Top 10 hit “5.7.0.5” crossed the Atlantic and entered the US #Billboard #Top40 at #40. The single spent 6 weeks on the chart, peaking at #27. #CityBoy #OneHitWondered #MusicSky
