Hi all,
While rereading the Billboard Book of #1 R&B hits, I noticed that "Let Your Hair Down" by the Temptations was unseated by "Boogie Down" by Eddie Kendricks. After a quick glance through the book, I did not see any other instances [[Motown) where a former bandmate unseated a former band on the charts at #1, or vise versa. Granted, my book stops at 1990.
Does anyone know of any other instances where this happened either in the U.S. or elsewhere?
I Heard It Through the Grapevine, Marvin, replaced Love Child at #1 Pop
Ain't No Mountain High Enough, Diana, replaced War by Edwin Starr at #1 Pop
I realize I'm not answering your question...….but to carry on
Shotgun replaced My Girl at #1 R & B
Back in My arms again replaced I'll Be Doggone and then Back in my Arms Again got replaced by I Can't Help Myself - 11 weeks in a row
They mean members of former bands.
I don't think there are other examples btw.
Boogie down, BOOGIE DOWN!! ;)Quote:
