While you all had good guesses, here is the answer.

Stevie Wonder became the first artist ever to score a US #1 album and single in the same week. Wonder was at the top of the LP chart with "Little Stevie Wonder / The 12 Year Old Genius" and had the #1 single with "Fingertips part 2", which was also the first ever live recording to reach #1.

What about 'Fingertips part 1' ... That was the two sided 45? Part 1 was on side A and part 2 was on side B. Part 2 became the most popular because it had the singing in it?
