What Becomes of the Brokenhearted singers The Originals and The Andantes. "What Becomes of the Brokenhearted" peaked at number seven on the "Billboard" Hot 100, and at number six on the Billboard R&B Singles chart, as well as No. 8 on the UK Chart. Eight years later, the song was reissued (with a B-Side of Ruffin's minor US hit "Don't You Miss Me a Little Bit Baby"), and surpassed its original chart position, reaching No. 4, and thus making it his highest-placed chart single in the UK. The song originally featured a spoken introduction by Ruffin, similar in style to many of Lou Rawls' performances

When "The Number of the Beast"'s music video was first shown on MTV, Eddie's appearance at the end was edited out after complaints from frightened viewers. 1982 7" UK single <br>1990 CD single <br>Also on red or clear vinyl (EMI 5287), 12" (1A K052-1076386) & cassette (EMI TC IM3) 2005 Enhanced
