Darts is a nine-piece British doo-wop revival band that achieved chart success in the late 1970s and early 1980s. The London-based band had a number of UK top 20 hits including three successive number twos with revivals of early US rock and roll, R&B and original songs. The band had three singles peak at number two on the UK charts in 1978, "Come Back My Love", "The Boy from New York City" and "It's Raining", all but the latter being covers of 1950s doo-wop songs.
