    Has to be a Motown group. Can't remember the name (since I'm not allowed to google..lol) but it's something like expectations or something like that.

    Nope! Not a group. Both were solo artists.

    Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons?

    Correct - we have a winner!

    The stage musical / movie was "Jersey Boys" (well worth watching).

    Another clue for the posthumous #1

    It would have been frowned on for JWs to play the song - something about some guy called Harry ...

    The 'Harry' part is more phonetic.

    Here's a clue .. the song it was claimed to be plagiarized from (don't read the YouTube comments, they give it away)

    Okay, I thought you were referring to "My Sweet Lord" by George Harrison, but where the heck is the posthumous come into it? This was released in 1970. Harrison didn't die til 2001

    Yes, correct ... but it was re-released and was UK #1 in Jan 2002, knocking off also-posthumous Aaliyah from the top spot.
