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

not my favorite but interesting

Grateful Dead, “Touch of Grey”

Norah Jones, “Don’t Know Why”

Jimi Hendrix "All Along the Watchtower

Janis Joplin "Me and Bobby McGee"

Rush "New World Man"

thank you Rick James

Its difficult as there as artists that would be considered one hit wonders in the UK that in some cases were big around the world and in some cases wouldnt have been heard of anywhere else. Here's a few notable ones that werer barely heard of since...

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.

i have a friend who was going to be the next big metal artist ( they were going to invest big time and make him ) in the 90's his record company insisted he cover
fire he said no and lost his contract and was black balled , he discovered Grunge and became famous ( still is )
