July 24th, 1993
UB40
On this day in music history, the band UB40 started a 7 week run at #1 on the US singles chart with their song, Can’t Help Falling In Love.
Elvis first made the song a hit in 1961.
Corey Hart made it a top 30 hit in 1987.
Hall and Oats recorded the song in the 1990’s.
Then - there was UB40!
UB40 originally covered the song for the Honeymoon in Vegas soundtrack - I love that movie btw!!
But Bono’s version of the song was chosen, instead.
