1974: “Then Came You” hits #1 on the Billboard Hot 100. It is the first #1 pop hit for both Dionne Warwick (at the time, adding an extra “e” to the end of her name) and the Spinners.
Equally amazing, when first released, “Then Came You” was intended to be the B-side of a single. The record label initially was pushing “Just as Long as We Have Love” as the A-side.
