The Pasadenas were an R&B/pop group from the United Kingdom, best known for their hit songs, "Tribute (Right On)", "I'm Doing Fine Now" and "Riding on a Train".

A vocal group firmly focused on the music and artists from earlier decades, their music was heavily influenced by 1950s doo-wop, 1960s Motown and early 1970s funk and R&B. The band was mainly known in the United Kingdom.

The group scored a UK number five hit, and topped the charts in the Netherlands in 1988 with its initial release, "Tribute (Right On)", which paid homage to soul luminaries such as Diana Ross & the Supremes and Aretha Franklin. In October 1988, they released a companion album, To Whom It May Concern which sold more than one million copies. In addition to "Tribute (Right On)", the disc included the minor hit "Riding on a Train" (a number four hit in the Netherlands), and a version of The Chi-Lites' "Living In the Footsteps of Another Man". They had several follow-up hits as well, including "Love Thing" (UK #22, Netherlands #13) in 1990.

The previous year the Pasadenas were part of Band Aid II.
