Ivanzero, Jermaine's 1st solo hit was in '73, so he was a veteran by '80, also.

Funny how 2 versions of 'Stand by me' get played as OEs, 2 weeks in a row. 1st, Ben E. King's version, most likely to mark his death, then Mickey Gilley's version from '80.

Droughts* The Kinks - 1st Top 40 hit since 1978 The Kinks are unusual if not unique in that they had not one, not two, but three 'droughts': Over four years between 1966's "Sunny Afternoon" and 1970's "Lola", then nearly eight years between "Lola" and 1978's "A Rock and Roll Fantasy", and then the five-year drought noted above. This last one was almost just a four-year gap since "I Wish I Could Fly Like Superman" peaked at #41 in '79.

This last one was almost just a four-year gap since "I Wish I Could Fly Like Superman" peaked at #41 in '79. I'm hard-pressed to think of another long-running artist with a history that spotty. It's not surprising they didn't have a hit between "Lola" & "Rock and Roll Fantasy" - their RCA albums were hardly fountains of Top 40 nuggets. I think "Low Budget" had a better shot than "Superman" at hitting the 40 - that's the one they should've released as the lead-off single. At least we've shown them a lot more love than their native land - "Come Dancing" was their only UK Top 40 single after 1972, and the last Kinks studio album to hit the UK charts was in 1967!

Here's an unusual chart occurrence: Aside from the #1 song, there are only two other songs at their peak position on the May 28, 1977 chart. "Hello Stranger" at #15 and "Everybody Be Dancing" at #38.
