Description: Eruption was formed in 1974 in Britain. In 1975 they won the RCA Soul Search Contest, whilst their first single "Let Me Take You Back in Time" was released in 1976. Finding their success quickly drying out, lead singer Lindel Leslie left the group, and their backing singer Precious Wilson stepped forward to front the band. They went on the road in Germany where Frank Farian, the producer of Boney M., took notice of them. Farian signed the group with the Germany-based Hansa Records and the band supported Boney M. on tour. Their cover of "I Can't Stand the Rain" from their first album (December 1977) was a hit all over Europe and the USA. Also their single "One Way Ticket" (a cover of Neil Sedaka's song written by Jack Keller and Hank Hunter), brought them to the top of the charts. I edited the song a bit, thus creating my own extended version. No copyright infringement intended. Enjoy!
