DEF: Pebbles “Mercedes Boy”

Oakland-born singer Pebbles appeared on Billboard‘s Hot 100 chart five times, all between 1988 and 1991. The first four singles reached the Top 20, and the first three cracked the Top 10. Her biggest hit was her second hit, “Mercedes Boy,” which on this date in 1988 climbed to a peak position of number 2, where it would spend two weeks. “Mercedes Boy” by Pebbles is today’s Daily Eighties Flashback.
