Blackfoot Sue was a British pop / rock band, formed in 1970 by the twin brothers Tom and David Farmer, and Eddie Golga.[1] A single released in August 1972, "Standing in the Road", reached number 4 on the UK Singles Chart.[2] Lack of further tangible success left them labelled as one-hit wonders. However, they did have another record enter the UK Singles Chart. "Sing Don't Speak" reached number 36 in December 1972.[2] In November 1972, they appeared on the German television programme, Disco. According to Allmusic, "they were written off as a teen sensation and broke up in 1977".[1]
