City Boy’s first five albums were produced by Mutt Lange, and are among the first albums he produced after relocating to the UK from South Africa. Lange became the seventh member of the band, helping Chris Dunn hone his bass guitar skills and assisting with City Boy’s vocal harmonies.

Their breakthrough came in 1978 with their hit song ‘5705’ which reached the Top 10 in the UK, the Top 30 in the US and the Top 40in Australia. It was Mutt Lange’s first hit single outside of his homeland of South Africa.
