Big Bill Posted August 12, 2019 Share Posted August 12, 2019 When I was a young man in the Air Force, I was considered a "one hit wonder." I would hit it once, and leave them wondering. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Notes_Norton Posted August 13, 2019 Share Posted August 13, 2019 Hit me once, shame on you. Hit me twice, shame on me. (sorry I couldn't resist) Here are a couple of decent one-hit wonders "Gloria" - Shadows of the Night "Hey Little Girl" - Syndicate of Sound Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well its very please to see it was sung by a HOT brunette makes the song that much better. I wonder what she looks like now, I'm afraid to Google it.

He ticked off Bowie on very first night of very first tour as opener. End of career. The Flock? No way! Space Age Love Song, Wishing, couple other pretty big ones. Great band, I love Space Age, I'd do that one any time! There was an old teevee show on VH1 where they try to get bands together again and they got Flock together. They stayed together! Still out there again still now I believe. There's a great set of them somewhere online with some Euro orchestra doing Space Age and a couple others with full string section. Great stuff. rct 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sparquelito Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 Autograph - Turn Up The Radio (1984) The video is pretty much a commercial for the PaperMate Sharp Writer Pencil, but a great song!🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rct Posted August 15, 2019 Share Posted August 15, 2019 A band called Sniffin' the Tears, a song called Drivers Seat. It was a big one, at least on MMR and YSP in Philly. rct Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I surprised Dexys is known at all in the US. They are not a one hit wonders in the uk though. They had two no. 1s and four top 10s. My band still have 3 of their songs in our set list; not including Come On Eileen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Notes_Norton Posted August 15, 2019 Share Posted August 15, 2019 I think Mott The Hoople only had one hit here in the USA. "All The Young Dudes" How about "Tighten Up" by Archie Bell & The Drells "Soul Finger" - by They Bar-Kays My apologies if these are repeats. I have a good memory but it's a bit short ;) Notes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
