New York City-born John Benitez, a.k.a. Jellybean, has scored two Top 20 hits on Billboard‘s Hot 100 chart, with both coming in a two-year period between 1985 and 1987. On this date in 1986, Jellybean’s first Top 20 hit,”Sidewalk Talk,” which featured backing vocals from Madonna, reached a peak position of number 18, where it would spend one week.
