One Hit Wonders - What Songs or Groups or Singers did You Like ?

flipper

At the recommendation of our own Minimus , and others I thought I would start this thread on " One Hit Wonders ". You know, we've all seen them. Singers, groups that come and go , hardly ever or never to be heard from again ! So, a few come to my mind here are mine .

Alone Again Naturally - Gilbert O ' Sullivan ( An Irish singer from the early 70's )

Green Eyed Lady - Sugarloaf ( Rock group from Colorado early 1970's ) Actually a pretty good song !

Radioactive - The Firm ( Paul Rodgers, Jimmy Page ,Chris Slade ) Great song from ex-Bad Company & Led Zeppelin members. Group disbanded after one album - so that group only had one " hit ".

One Fine Morning - Lighthouse ( rock group from Toronto in early 1970's )

Please Come to Boston - Dave Loggins ( Believe it or not - a cousin of Kenny Loggins :solo 1970's )

So, put your thinking caps on and as always I look forward to your various comments on this. It should be interesting seeing all the songs and musicians listed ! Thanks , Peace out, Mr. Flipper
