What's your favorite "One Hit Wonder"?

"Bend me Shape me"... The American Breed
"Keep your Hands to Yourself"...The Georgia Satellites
"Run Run Run"....Jo Jo Gunne
You Belong to Me--The Duprees  1962

Sinatra recorded it too, as did others, but I think this was their only hit.

16 Candles by The Crests was also big, but they had several other hit tunes down the line.  However, I believe Johnny Maestro was gone by then.

Fun thread!

Cheers...
Rich, no, neither of those groups were one-hit wonders. The Duprees also did "My Own True Love" and "Have You Heard," among others.

And The Crests, with Johnny Maestro, did "Step By Step," "The Angels Listened In," "Trouble In Paradise," and others. For example, here’s Johnny performing "Step By Step" as a member of The Crests: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E284QNyoJug

All of these were solid top-40 hits.
