Who Was Your Favorite One Hit Wonder

Hey Mike! How old are ya? Sad thing is, I remember all those songs. Don't forget the Singing Nun!!

Did Sam the Sham and the Pharaohs also do a version of "Mr. Big Stuff"? (am I thinking right, it's the Motown soul song with the "Whod'ya-whod'ya-whod'ya think you are?" refrain) There could be several versions... it's before my time. I heard it on the radio the other day and listened past the refrain for the first time, and realized what a cool tune it was.

Not that I know of. Song was done by Betty Something-or-other about 1971.

Yeah, Mr. Big Stuff was Jean Knight - just looked it up on allmusic.com. It was her only top-ten hit, according to the bio. Sam the Sham - the DJ announced that name after the song, but had played "Little Red Riding Hood" just before. Another "almost" one-hit wonder, Sam the Sham also did Wooly Bully". Man, I hate both of those songs!

Believe it or not, when I play "Wooly Bully" at a party people love it. Of course, this is in a set with "The Twist", "Mony, Mony", "Gimmie Some Lovin", "Nobody But Me", etc.

Hey, "Nobody But Me" by the Human Beinz...one hit wonder!

Mwilson, thanks for the turn on to allmusic.com.
