Capitol Hill Blue Forums Misc. Topics General Stuff One Hit Wonders

I know I'm showing my age, but any thread on great one-hit wonders has to include "Stay" by Maurice Williams and the Zodiacs!

She could have led me to the oasis and made me drink sand...

"Oh-oh Child!"

Cool! This fool always thought that was a Jackson Five song.

Showing my age, too. Early sixties, early teens, peddling our bikes the 8 miles on Saturday morning to the bowling alley. We were in the kids bowling league. One buck, you get the shoe rentals, 3 games, and if you scored 3 strikes in a row, you'd get a free game. We bowled most of Saturday morning and afternoon for $1. Denise and Stay (may have been the Franky Valli and the 4 Seasons version) were always on the juke box. Another one hit wonder that someone was always playing was Rhythm Of the Rain . Two or three years later(which seemed like an eternity back then)we moved up one rung on the social ladder from bowling to roller skating. It was a different world and a different time.

Here's a one-hit wonder from when I was kid:



...and how can we forget this one from the same era:



...or this one:

Not a one-hit artist, but two songs from an artist from my childhood that has always appreciate whenever I hear them:

I'm still a big Gordon Lightfoot fan. I'm also a big fan of Tom Rush- no one hit wonder- and Urge for Going is one of my favorites.

Another big Tom Rush fan here!!! My favorite TR song is "No Regrets." It's got to be one of the best "break up" songs ever written.
