Mankind : Dr. Who
You probaby didn't know you needed a disco version of the Dr Who theme, but 240,000 copies of Mankind's version were sold in late 1978. The single spent 12 weeks in the U.K. charts, peaking at #25.
Dr. Alimantado : I Killed the Barber
Rastafarian toaster Dr. Alimantado's debut album, Best Dressed Chicken in Town, is a collection of singles from 1972-1977. Considering the amount of work that went into 1970's album covers, this one stands out in part because Alimantado didn't even bother to zip up his shorts.
Dr. Buzzard's Original Savannah Band : Mister Love
The follow-up to the masterful Top 40 debut is more of the same and a bit harder to take. Good thing August Darnell would retire this sound and form Kid Creole and the Coconuts.
Dr. Feelgood : Night Time

Wilko Johnson's departure means everything Dr Feelgood did after 1977 is less relevant, but Private Practice had sone decent tunes and the Nick Lowe-co-write, "Milk and Alcohol", would reach the UK Top 10 in 1979.
