Chart comebacks after years in the wilderness...
A few artists who were absent from the chart for over 35 years: Perez Prado - top 10 hits in 1955 and 1958, remained absent until 1994's Guaglione (which peaked at #2 in 1995) Ernie K-Doe - charted in 1961 with Mother In Law, remained absent until 2007, when Here Come The Girls (the song which Sugababes covered the following year) made #43 Tony Blackburn - 2 minor hits in the late 1960s, teamed up with The Wurzels in 2007. Both of the first two had however been dead for approximately 6 years when they made their 'comebacks'. Another notable comeback was that of The Dubliners - they reached the top 10 in 1987 teaming up with The Pogues, having not charted since 1967.
