Rhoda Dakar as the singer of The Bodysnatchers performed several sessions for Peel's show before the group split in 1980. In 1981 she collaborated with The Specials on their track "The Boiler", which was a controversial song about date rape, featuring part of the track where Rhoda screams as if she was raped. Peel decided to play the track on his show despite BBC Radio One banning the song on their playlist, due to the graphic theme of the song. Rhoda later on became a full time member of the Special AKA, who had their UK Top 10 hit single "Free Nelson Mandela" at number 41 in the 1984 Festive Fifty.
