Forty years ago this week, Doctor’s orders by Sunny was at number 8 in the UK singles chart. It had entered the top 40 three weeks previously at number 23 and broke into the top 10 two weeks later. After one week at number 8, the song rose to its peak position of number 7 for a final week in the top 10. It then spent the final three weeks of its chart life in the lower top 40.

Doctor’s orders was released on the CBS record label and was the only top 10 hit for Sunny in the UK. It was taken from an album of the same name that did not enter the UK chart.
