Eruption feat. Precious Wilson - I Can’t Stand The Rain (1978) • TopPop
Eruption were a British disco, R&B and soul recording act in the 1970s and 1980s. They are best known for their covers of Ann Peebles’s “I Can’t Stand the Rain“ and Neil Sedaka’s “One Way Ticket“, which were big disco hits in 1978 and 1979.
The band was formed in 1969 as a school band in the United Kingdom as Silent Eruption, and consisted of musicians of Caribbean origins. The group changed the name to Eruption in 1974. In 1975 Precious Wilson joined the band as a backing singer and they won the RCA Soul Search contest and their first single “Let Me Take You Back in Time“ was released. The group didn’t find a singer who could replace Lindel Leslie so backing singer Precious Wilson became the lead singer. In 1977 they went on the road in Germany where they were discovered by Hans-Jörg Mayer who worked as a talent scout for Frank Farian (the producer of Boney M.) Farian signed the group with the Germany-based Hansa Records and the band was the backing band and the support act for Boney M’s first European tour.
Their ’comeback’ single “Party, Party“ did well in 1977, but their cover of “I Can’t Stand the Rain“ released in December 1977 was an international hit, reaching No. 1 in Belgium and Australia, No. 5 in the UK Singles Chart and No. 18 in the US Billboard Hot 100.
Afterwards, in the spring of 1978, “Party, party“ was re-released and became a hit in the Benelux countries. Both songs were included in their first album, released in December 1977. It was followed by their second album titled Leave a Light, launched towards the end of 1978. The first single off the album, “Leave a Light“, went largely unnoticed, but the second single, “One Way Ticket“ (a cover of Neil Sedaka’s song written by Jack Keller and Hank Hunter), catapulted them to the top of the charts (a UK No. 9 hit)
