ABC: Alphabet City (1987)


When I read the Wikipedia entry about the song When Smokey Sings I learned something:

"Smokey Robinson himself was on the pop charts with his single One Heartbeat at the same time as this tribute song, marking one of the only times to date that a singer simultaneously was the performing artist of one Top 40 hit, while the subject of another chart hit. For the week ending 3 October 1987, both songs were in the Top 10 simultaneously. In 1964, The Carefrees hit #39 with We Love You Beatles during a time when The Beatles had several hits simultaneously in the Top 40."

I guess that's an interesting bit of trivia.
