the middle and the band members' allegiance to Reade was beginning to fragment. In December 1984, a Factory Records management meeting took place at which Reade was sacked and told to leave the offices without the band. "Can't Afford" was an even a bigger US success than "Cool as Ice," entering the top 20 on the Billboard Dance Chart in early 1985. Loyalties within the band were being tested. Derrick Johnson was a Factory Records man. He not only played bass for 52nd Street, but was also session guitarist alongside his brother Barry Johnson (former bass player with Sweet Sensation) in Quando Quango. After deliberation and against the wishes of both Gretton and Wilson, 52nd Street followed Lindsay Reade and left Factory Records in January 1985. Derrick Johnson refused to follow and stayed with the organisation. Children of the Night The band went on to have success in the UK Singles Chart and US Billboard R&B Chart with several songs from their 1985 album Children of the Night. The album reached No. 23 on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart and No. 71 in the UK Albums Chart. It was produced by Philadelphia-based Nick Martinelli, who was producing two other successful UK based acts Loose Ends and Five Star at the time. The biggest hit from the album was "Tell Me (How it Feels)" which, in the winter of 1985, reached No. 8 on the US Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart. It also reached No. 14 on the US Hot Dance Club Songs chart and No. 54 on the UK Singles Chart. The album spawned two other modest hits in the UK Singles Chart in early 1986 with "You're My Last Chance" (No. 49) and "I Can't Let You Go (No. 57). Something's Going On Their second and final album, Something's Going On, was released in 1987. It was not a commercial success, although "I'll Return" reached No. 79 on the US R&B Chart. The album and single failed to chart in the UK. One other single from the album was released, "Are You Receiving Me?". In 1988, the group, minus Dennison, released one last unsuccessful single as 52nd Street, "Say You Will". In late 1987, Dennison co-wrote the dance hit single "Girls Can Jak Too" with his sister Susan (released under the name 'Zuzan'), produced by Mike Pickering.
