brad1 Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 Ok.. two hit wonder :) I know the film Cadyshack (classic) but im not sure it was a hit (certainly not over here).. Footloose however was massive.. Wonder what hes up to now (not) :) Kenny Loggins was not a one-hit wonder, nor a two-hit wonder. He had several of his songs make the top of the charts. He was also a member of one of the most popular duos of the early seventies, Loggins and Messina. They had several top 10 hits as well. You should try listening to it; pretty good stuff imo. After that he went solo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rct Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mWOTdt9Bovk&feature=player_detailpage Ten or so years after this was a number one hit I had the pleasure of working on a handful of songs with this guy. The record didn't do anything, or we probably wouldn't be having this conversation. It was a pleasure to hear him sit there witha canna Iron City and hit this one up. rct Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rabs Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 and proving they can still ROCK Nice It was a shame really.. I had their first album and quite liked it (for cheesy 80s rock :)) I think they did do more but never had as bigger hit as this... Good to see they are still around Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matonanjin Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 Do you think that maybe some people don't understand the concept of "ONE-HIT WONDER"? <_< Come on...you know its true. I think the Beatles had a couple hits Unfortunately he had a few others ... mostly due to soundtracks Peter Cetera def had more than one hit ! either by himself or as part of Chicago In fact 6 top40 singles and 2 number ones ! And thats as a solo artist. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Cetera OK, so "Wild Thing" by the Troggs "96 Tears" by Question Mark and the Mysterions (About our most popular cover when I played in a band in High School) "Dirty Water" by the Standells Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tman Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 This is my favorite along with My Sharona that Surfpup posted. I've posted this song before for the lead solo played on a 335 at about 2 minutes. Brilliant. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OVjN3t8cj74 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bonzoboy Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 Although I haven't read all the posts I've noticed several artists who were basically one hit wonders in North America but were big hits in other countries.One example was Christie with Yellow River who were very well known in Europe.Golden Earring were mentioned too but they were absolutely huge in Europe.One really great band from across the pond who were hardly heard of on this side of it,was Status Quo who turned out hit after hit such as the catchy Matchstick Men.Hedgehoppers Anonymous are another band who had only one chart hit here with It's Good News Week and they charted in NL,Canada with the catchy Don't Push Me.Every Mother's Son had their one hit Come On Down To My Boat.Then there were The Cryan Shames (sic) with Sugar and Spice,The Critters with Mr. Dyingly Sad,The Left Banke with Walk Away Reneé,Crispian St. Peters with Pied Piper,The Scaffold with Thankyou Very Much,The Pipkins with Gimme Dat Ting,Marmalade with Reflections of My Life and The Flying Machine with the very beautiful Smile a Little Smile For Me Rosemarie.No doubt there are many others whom I can't remember right now but since I'm a fanatic for music trivia-especially from the 60s and 70s-some more will come to mind.
