It's fun to see how many lyrics I can remember from that. Gotta gosa gotta sweat a leonosa fender basin night tripper Doris day jack the ripper. Peter Paul so on.....
I'm 59 and I grew up in Oklahoma and where I lived i could only get AM radio and all of these artists and one hit wonders were played many times over the years thanks for the great memories of the 70's.🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶
@bobdavis4848 A true One Hit Wonder can't be any of the following:ll, either: 1. The artist had hits in other genres than Top 40, the Pop Charts. Like Rock, many songs weren't released on physical singles but had heavy rotation on Rock stations. 2. The artist had other hits in other countries. For example, some consider Rock Me Amadeus by Falco an OHW. It's not, Falco was huge in Germany and Europe.
@@raydunn8262 I fully agree with all that. But you’ll find a lot of disagreement on youtube. People who host channels, including AI bot type hosts, love using the “one hit wonder” term as part of their clickbait attempts. Even just in the US, Falco was not a one hit wonder, as “Vienna Calling” reached #18. I’ve had many jobs in radio and music retail, I have music all over the house, almost all genres. Many also call songs “one hit wonders,” which makes no sense. Artists might be “one hit wonders.” Songs don’t write songs, artists do.
@@wiliamhong273 The lead singer of the Archies was Ron Dante. Andy Kim and Jeff Barry wrote the song Sugar, Sugar. The song was originally for The Monkees but they turned it down.
I'm a huge fan of Vicki Lawrence and for years I didn't know she sung that one song but I know that now I watched her on Carol Burnett show and Mama's Family and this one hit 🎯 wonder still holds up after these years
He didn't sing in a falsetto, Jeff Barry, who produced the track, felt his natural vocals were too low, and so to attract teen buyers, sped the tape up so Andy would sound teeny-ish.
And the band shown in the video wasn't even them but guys from an agency hired to appear in the video because the label thought the actual guys including tony burrows, were too ugly.
Tony Burrows had four records in the British Top Ten at once, all under different names. Edison Lighthouse's "Love Grows (Where My Rosemary Goes)," White Plains' "My Baby Loves Lovin'," the Pipkins' ridiculous "Gimme Dat Ding," and the Brotherhood of Man's "United We Stand," in 1970. He also sang background on many of Elton John's early-'70s albums (especially Madman Across the Water). Levon and Tiny Dancer for example. He sang on over 120 hit songs in the 1970's. 1st Class - Beach Baby, another of his.
Andy Kim was NOT a one-hit wonder! He had several hits that preceded "Rock Me Gently, Including "How'd We Ever Get This Way?" and his cover of the Ronettes' "Baby, I Love You." BTW, it's pronounced "CUH' vin" not "COE' vin." Like a coven of witches. The follow-up to "Moonlight Feels Right," "I Got To Know," reached #36 on the top 40. Player had a second hit with "This Time I'm In It For Love," in early 1978, reaching #10 on the Hot 100 and staying on the charts for four months. Do your homework.
Really spun my mental AM dial back to the 70s! Some random 70s one hit wonders I can think of Black Superman - Johnny Wakelin Chick a boom - Daddy Dewdrop Sausilto Summer night - Diesel Rocky - Austin Roberts Chevy Van - Sammy Johns
This is a music themed collection "1970s One Hit Wonders: You Will LOVE" Featuring songs but for some reason for the whole 10 minutes instead of the music they are featuring they are dicking around with some innocuous, unknown track. They only play a minute section of the song they are talking about. And they want us to pass this along to our music loving friends? and give it a "like" I think not.
Back in the 70s, I became a fan of the movie Billy Jack, having seen it over 10 times back when movies were 50 cents for a double feature. So, One Tin Soldier became one of my favorite songs during this era. Another one of my favorites on this list is The Night The Lights went out in Georgia by Vickie Lawrence.
Dean Friedman Had 2 hits in the uk.Lucky Star and Lydia,so not really a one hit wonder.And no mention of Curved Air - Back Street Love.Their one and only hit in 1971
Lotta facts- so what not enough songs. I thought Neil Diamond did Rock Me Gently. Why are they called " wonders"? Is it because people wonder what happened to them?
TemChilds .. This is so true. Andy Kim , A Canadian was BIG TIME in the 70’s . Baby, I love you, Rock me gently, Sugar Sugar .. Many a dime I put in the Juke Box to listen to Andy Kim .
Something in the air. Kind of different. Heard it in 70 may have come out earlier. Thubderclap newman. Mun apollona blanca ajor harris love wont let me wait. Benny bell shaving cream. The flip side was funnier.
Ariel, never heard that before. This thing is not very good. But I don't blame you for that. I can say you've done a nice job of resenting facts and one hit wonders. I subscribed. You need that. Got to check out other videos you've made. Happy 4th of july.
Ummm you do know that corporate cookie cutter crap like the Archies was garbage? The Archies were literally picked out because they looked like characters from a comic book series. Musical talent not required. Lip syncing talent a premium. Every slur attached to the Monkees was valid for the Archies (where the Monkees started off as a TV show and became a real band). There were hundreds of corporate groups like that following Beatlemania, just as there was in the 90s following groups like Iron Maiden and Judas Priest called Big Hair where they just copied but didn't have the talent to create
Personally, I truly believe the song Love Grows Where My Rosemary Goes by Edison Lighthouse is one of the greatest songs ever written and ever recorded!
