Triplett first represented the
United Kingdom in the
Eurovision Song Contest 1980 as the lead female vocals of the six-piece band
Prima Donna. Prima Donna finished third with their pop-ballad "
Love Enough for Two" but the song was a flop in the charts, and the group disbanded after their second single. Two years later, she again represented
United Kingdom in the Eurovision Song Contest 1982, this time as part of a duo,
Bardo. Their song, "
One Step Further", was a frantic pop number with a complex dance routine. The vigorous choreography noticeably affected the vocals, and not helped by a backing track but instead a live orchestra, the song finished seventh. Author and historian John Kennedy O'Connor notes in his
The Eurovision Song Contest – The Official History that Sally-Ann Triplett is one of only four singers to have sung for the United Kingdom in the competition twice, alongside
Ronnie Carroll,
Cliff Richard and
Cheryl Baker of
Bucks Fizz. Triplett is the only act to have won the UK heat for Eurovision at both attempts (Cliff Richard was nominated twice without having to compete for the opportunity). The song, however, proved to be a success in the
UK Singles Chart when it reached No. 2, ==Recordings==
