I saw that trivia question last night on my google news feed and guessed CCR and Proud Mary. I really thought I had it. I was merely a close second.

A close second, much like CCR themselves, who hold the record for most #2 Billboard hits without ever reaching #1.

“”I-Feel-Like-I’m-Fixin’-to-Die Rag” saw a more commercial release on the group’s second album, I Feel Like I’m Fixin’ to Die, which was distributed in November 1967. Released as a single in 1969, this version reached number one on Tio i Topp in Sweden.”

Actually, it was #1 on Dick Clark’s first American Bandstand in 1777. It was first used prior to a football game at Herty Field in 1891 when freshman Stetson Bennett IV led the Dawgs to a come from behind victory over Mercer who were without their star receiver.

I’m thinking this might be made up. There were no receivers in 1891.

Nobody from Texas ever played the blues better than JDW3.
I didn’t think WS was one of his finest moments. Of course personal mileage and taste varies.
Other than Keith Richard he may have consumed more heroin than anyone of his time. Even Bill Tush covered JDW3’s heroin usage on TBS. Good times.

I thought it was going to be something trickier, like a selection from Sha Na Na’s set.
Which of course begs the questions…. 1) why the hell were they on the bill, and 2) who gave them a TV show later on?
