ST. LOUIS _ Nelly reigns atop Billboard's pop songs chart for the fifth time with his new song, "Just a Dream." The melodic single follows previous chart-toppers "Over and Over," "Hot in Herre," "Dilemma" and "Shake Ya Tailfeather."

From wikipedia:
William DeHart Hubbard (born in Cincinnati, Ohio on November 25, 1903 - June 23, 1976) was a track and field athlete who was the first African American to win an Olympic gold medal in an individual event; the running long jump at the 1924 Paris Summer games.

He subsequently set a long jump world record of 25 feet 10¾ inches (7.89 m) at Chicago in June 1925 and equaled the world record of 9.6 seconds for the 100-yard dash at Cincinnati, Ohio a year later.
