Who Was Your Favorite One Hit Wonder


What was your favorite one hit wonder song, and who performed it? You can name one or a few.

I loved (and still do) "Voices Carry" performed by Till Tuesday.

C'mon. Put on your thinking caps.

most of the groups/artists mentioned charted two or more times on the billboard/cashbox charts, unfortunately today's oldies stations have reduced them to one-hit wonders.
Fmpnd, You Right! I forgot all about that one. Both, excellent tunes. Great sax in Stormy. Did they even do an album?
Bluenose. I often ask the same question. Is music less fun, or are we less fun? It's tough to figure. I honestly think that the stuff from the 50/60/70 era was better stuff. There were so many different influences back then. Just think about the influence of Motown alone.
Blues Image, "Ride Captain Ride" For some reason, that really struck me as a teenager.

Actually, I'd put several in front of that, but they've been mentioned -- Green Eyed Lady, 96 Tears & Spirit in the Sky at the forefront.

By the way, the Mountain Climbing album is an excellent group of songs (e.g., Theme for an Imaginary Western written by Jack Bruce) so even though they only had one big hit (Roll Over Beethoven was a smaller one perhaps), they had one of the 50 best albums made in rock, IMO.

Also, I heard an interview with the guy who wrote "This Diamond Ring" (can't remember the name) and his vision for that was very bluesy/R&B. To this day, he hates the pop rendition. He has a version of his own which is very good, but I love the pop one.
