25 Years Ago in the Nineties: Iggy Pop with Kate Pierson “Candy”

As an artist generally associated with punk music, Iggy Pop hasn’t had a career particularly conducive to appearing on Billboard‘s Hot 100 chart. Still, between his years with The Stooges and his solo work, Iggy did chart once, and that one appearance turned into a Top 40 hit. Exactly 25 years ago, Iggy Pop’s song “Candy,” featuring Kate Pierson from The B-52’s sharing vocals, climbed to a peak position of number 28, where it would spend one week.
