One hit wonders
While I was out driving today, I heard a one hit wonder on the radio, "I Go Crazy" by Paul Davis, which got me thinking: what is your favorite one hit wonder song?
These are some I like: It's Magic by Pilot Skyhigh by Jigsaw Black Betty by Ram Jan Do You Know What I Mean by Lee Michaels

Oh my goodness. I was about to type 'what the hell are you talking about- Jimi Hendrix one hit wonder'. Having just done some research it seems Jimi was never really big in terms of single releases outside the UK. Wow, I never knew that. |
