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.
That feat brought Althea Forrest and Donna Reid a record contract with Front Line, which resulted in this, their sole album. Uptown Top Ranking was superbly produced by Karl Pitterson, and boasts the heavy rhythms of the Revolutionaries. The music is a wonder to behold, driven by the Riddim Twins' fat rhythms and accompanied by Scully's inspired percussion.
