The Top 5 Hit Resurrections – Songs That Topped the Charts Twice

Coming up… it’s a countdown of the Top 5 hit resurrections of the Rock Era! These are the songs that made it into the upper reaches of the charts not once, but twice—on separate campaigns. Our list includes a Queen song about a homicidal cowboy that lingered in a legend's mind for years before being recorded, a Righteous Brothers track where the lead vocal was decided by a coin toss, a controversial Benny Mardones ballad about a 16-year-old that had radio programmers sweating, a Prince song so ingeniously full of metaphors, it managed to slip by the moral majority, and a timeless classic sung by Chubby Checker who cut the session short because he to go race back to his house and do his homework. The countdown is NEXT on Professor of Rock.
