Scarlett and Black were a pop duo from the UK, whose birth names were Robin Hild and Sue West.[1] Robin Hild was previously the keyboard player for the Big Supreme; Sue West was a former backing vocalist for Doctor and the Medics. They released a self-titled album on Virgin Records in 1987, which proved to be a minor success in the U.S., peaking at No. 107 on the Billboard Top 200 in 1988.[2] The single "You Don't Know" was a hit record that same year, peaking at No. 20 on the Billboard Hot 100 and appearing on the Adult Contemporary (No. 13) and Dance (No. 32 Hot Dance/Club Play, No. 41 Hot Dance Singles) charts.[3]
Unable to provide a viable follow-up, Scarlett & Black remain dubbed as one-hit wonders.
