How about the "ONE HIT WONDERS"? I'm not talking about a famous group breaking up and one of the former members having a hit song. I'm not talking about a lead singer from a famous group putting out a solo album.
I am talking about TRUE "one hit wonders", who had one hit song and pretty much disappeared, never to have another song that received a lot of airplay.
Here is my list of "one hit wonders" from the 1970s, which were my "formative" years:
One Tin Soldier...........The Original Caste
Spirit In The Sky............Norman Greenbaum
Vehicle............The Ides Of March
Ride Captain Ride............Blues Image
In The Summertime............Mungo Jerry
Indiana Wants Me............R Dean Taylor
Brandy...................Looking Glass
Why Can't We Live Together.............Timmy Thomas
Dancin' In The Moonlight.............King Harvest
Hocus Pocus (instrumental).............Focus
Brother Louie..............Stories
My Maria...............B.W. Stevenson
Seasons In The Sun..............Terry Jacks
Rock On................David Essex
TSOP (The Sounds Of Philadelphia)...........MFSB
Tubular Bells (instrumental)............Mike Oldfield
The Night Chicago Died............Paper Lace
Beach Baby...........The First Class
Kung Fu Fighting.............Carl Douglas
Chevy Van.............Sammy Johns
The Hustle.............Van McCoy
Play That Funky Music............Black Cherry
Black Betty............Ram Jam
Magnet and Steel.............Walter Egan
Hot Child In The City.............Nick Gilder
Video Killed The Radio Star...........The Buggles
