"mocking the importance of fathers"

Uh, Dan, for someone who got mocked as much as you did, you sure misused that word.

Little heard Black Crowes kicks off in a promising way.


And which little-heard Black Crowes tune would that be?
 


Can't recall the title, think it was track #1 though.  Neither "Remedy" nor "Thorn In My Pride" anyway.


Pretty sure I was right about "Sting Me" beign the opening track.  The Southern Harmony & Musical Companion is an LP I owe a revisit to.

v.h.m. k.d.l.

Wish Dave's play some of her earlier stuff occasionally -- too country, I guess.


Anything off of Angel With A Lariat would be frickin' awesome, but it'll never happen.  Though Ginger might play it if we ask her nicely enough.

Oh, you meant track #1 on their album--I thought you were talking about this set. Yes, it's the leadoff cut on SH&MC. Great album--I too have not listened to it in a good long while.

Let's get right to it.

I was thinking of that Vanessa Williams song recently.  Probably the best selling song to ever peak at #2, as it was only kept out of the top spot by the fact that 2 of the longest running #1's showed up in late '92 back to back.


I don't have Whitburn handy, but Top40 db sez it hit #1.  I seem to recall it being #1 for a number of weeks.  A lovely example of a well-written pop ballad, in any case.


I'll have to doublecheck, but I had it that between "End of the Road" and "I Will Always Love You" being #1 for a combined 20+ weeks that year STBFL got squeezed out.


OK here's the chart scoop...

STBFL was #1 for 5 weeks in Feb/March of '92.  EOTR was #1 for 13 weeks from July to Nov.  IWALY was #1 for 14 weeks from Nov '92 to March '93.  Big year for ballads.

Thanks Mike!

EOTR broke the record for longest stay at number one only to see the very next #1 song supplant them as record holders.

Kinda like Shaun Alexander's NFL TD record, only worse.

Sorry to belabor this, but I would've bet all my Final Jeopardy money that the Heights' "How Do You Talk to an Angel" had a single week at the throne between those two massive hits.

PS: Marginally relatedly, someone asked me recently what the longest-running #1 was.  When I replied that it was Mariah Carey and Boyz II Men's "One Sweet Day," he was dumbfounded; he couldn't remember a single note of it.  I can only remember the chorus.

And you (sorta) win Final Jeopardy! The Heights actually had 2 weeks at the top between EOTR and IWALY. Ken Jennings would be proud :wink:
