who sings if it ain't one thing it's another
Richard "Dimples" Fields Fields' breakthrough single came in 1982 with "If It Ain't One Thing, It's Another",[1] which reached number one for three weeks on the US Billboard R&B chart and number 47 on the Billboard Hot 100.[2] He had first recorded and released the song for DRK in 1975, in which he lamented not only the world's problems, but also those of his own life (from an ugly pregnant girlfriend to the need to read the Bible). Fields was persuaded to re-record and update it by an old friend, including it on his album, Mr. Look So Good!, before it was issued as a single. His only entry in the UK Singles Chart occurred in February 1982, when "I've Got to Learn to Say No", peaked at number 56.[3]
