#OnThisDay #chartfact 22.10.95 Californian rapper @Coolio goes straight in at UK no 1 with Gangsta’s Paradise, which also features singer LV (short for ‘Large Variety’). The single – from the soundtrack to Dangerous Minds starring Michelle Pfeiffer – will go on to win a Grammy and become the UK’s 2nd-biggest seller of 1995. It borrows elements from Stevie Wonder’s 1976 song Pastime Paradise (listen: youtube/watch?v=_H3Sv2zad6s) and the first line comes from the Bible, Psalm 23:4: “Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me.” #UKTop3 #OnThisDay 22.10.95 1 @Coolio/LV, Gangsta’s Paradise youtube/watch?v=9Qqnpv0fCh4 2 @RealMeatLoaf, I’d Lie For You (And That’s The Truth) 3 @SimplyRedHQ, Fairground
