There are only 9 songs in Billboard Hot 100 history to hit #1 for two different artists. Here they are.
Cool idea and an excellent presentation! Great read.
Thank you, Brad! Had a lot of fun researching this one.
Fun article! Good ol’ Vanilla Fudge - You Keep Me Hangin’ On was a hands-down favorite of mine in my fuzzed out teenage years.
Same, Pamela. I absolutely love it.
Great article.
Thank you, Gary!
Wow, fantastic piece! So much history imbedded in the chart stats, and you do a great job tying everything together.
Thank you Hugh! Really appreciate that.
Great essay!
Thank you Blitzgkrieg! Really appreciate the readership. Cheers!

A great addition to this whole story!
When A Man Loves A Woman was recorded at Norala Sound Studio (also known as Quin Ivy's studio) in Sheffield, Alabama produced by Quin. Fame’s Rick Hall did call my dad about WAMLAW which is how it became a hit.
Paul — I’d love to hear more about your dad’s part in this whole story!
Jerry picked it up pushed it I know Jerry Greenberg who was a promo guy worked it…
Amazing! Thanks for sharing some family history with us. Eternal gratitude and respect to your legendary father!
