Scandium is a metal that has many of the characteristics of the rare earth elements, particularly yttrium. It is a light material with a higher melting point than aluminum, giving it uses in aerospace and other manufacturing, such as racing bicycles, baseball bats, and golf clubs.
Uptown by The Crystals Songfacts. This hit single from the Crystals' debut album, featuring lead vocals from  Barbara Alston, was written by the Brill Building songwriting duo Barry Mann and Cynthia Weil. When producer Phil Spector got hold of the song, he changed a couple notes because no one could hit them.
Composed by Clarence Satch Satchell / James Diamond Williams / Leroy Sugarfoot Bonner / Marshall Rock Jones / Marvin Pierce / Ralph Pee Wee Middlebrooks. Song Review by Amy Hanson. Number one on the R&B charts in fall 1975, Sweet Sticky Thing is a jazzed-out funk jam-packed with a sweet lasciviousness. Light drums provide a background for an awesome horn arrangement, and only the lyrics prevent the song from completely spinning off into another dimension.
