25 Years Ago in the Nineties: Pebbles “Giving You The Benefit”

Oakland-born singer Pebbles has hit the Top 5 on Billboard‘s Hot 100 chart three times. The first two hits came in 1988 with “Girlfriend” and “Mercedes Boy.” Two years later — in 1990 — Pebbles scored her third Top 5 hit when “Giving You The Benefit” peaked at number 4. Exactly 25 years ago, “Giving You The Benefit” was in the midst of a three-week run at its peak position.
