Wild Cherry’s single Play That Funky Music went to No. 1 on the Billboard Charts on this date.
This was going to be the B-side of Wild Cherry’s cover of the Commodores‘ I Feel Sanctified. When they heard it, the owners of their record label suggested that the B-side become the A-side. The song sold over two million copies, but was Wild Cherry’s only hit.
