His "Spring Cleaning" by Fats Waller hit #3 (co-written by Walter Samuels) in 1937 and "You Won't Be Satisfied (Until You Break My Heart)" by Les Brown and His Orchestra hit #2 in 1946 (co-written by Larry Stock). "Bewildered" hit #1 R&B in the U.S. twice in 1947, first by the Red Miller Trio then by Amos Milburn (co-written by Leonard Whitcup). "Unchain My Heart" by Ray Charles hit #1 R&B in 1961 was not written by Powell but by Bobby Sharp, but Sharp sold the rights to Powell for $50 so he often is credited on some releases. Sharp later sued to get his rights back and renew his copyright.
