Dexy's Midnight Runners' song "Jackie Wilson Said (I'm in Heaven When You Smile)", a cover of a Van Morrison tune, reached the top 5 in the UK singles chart. When the band performed this single on the BBC TV music show Top Of The Pops, which was broadcast live, there was an infamous mix-up (or deliberate prank) by the BBC engineers in charge of the background graphics. Instead of a picture of Jackie Wilson, the American soul singer, the band performed in front of a photo of Jocky Wilson, the Scottish darts player.
