very droll W-C.You could have added Buddy Holly's "Not Fade Away" a one hit wonder by a
breakaway group from Bob Dylan's The Band calling themselves The Rolling Stones, I wonder what they look like as they come up for UK bus passes. I bet that Keith Richards fellow still looks like a teenager and his side kick, the Irishman Mick, is still swaggering around!!

John,
I was going to mention the Rolling Stones also, but I couldn't remember what their first (oops, I mean ONLY) hit was. Yes, the Stones were a great one-hit-wonder band!

My all-time favorite song, Everlasting Love by Robert Knight.

Storm Warning by The Volcanos

As mentioned earlier, My Maria by B.W. Stevenson

I have a bunch of my parents' old 45's that I used to play alot when I was little. Some great titles & singers.

fezo's Concrete & Clay reminded me of one, not sure if it was mentioned already and can't remember the exact title, something like Mud & Cement, but I think the Mud part is wrong. It's sung by a woman & I think it may have been her only hit. Came out in the late 60's.

Ok, just remembered & googled it, it was Tar & Cement.

someone asked where is B.W. Stevenson now. He passed away in 1988. B.W. Stevenson co-wrote My Maria and was a Texas artist who hung around Austin, Texas quite a bit.

i frequent a restaurant run by the former lead male singer of the Bells...I consider their duet, (I think I'm gonna) Stay A While their only hit...I know some who find the gal's voice a bit over-whispery...anyhow, I still like the simplicity and laid back groove and most of all, the cheesiness:)...perhaps this only got Canadian airplay
