Craig Kilbourne used the Wild Cherry song on and off his Late Late Show With Craig Kilbourne as his walk-in music . He had some royalties issues with the band for awhile . The Night The Lights Went Out In Georgia song was an inspiration for a movie with the name . It starred Kristy McNichol , Dennis Quaid and Mark Hammill . It obviously bombed because so few people even know about the movie .

At the time when Come And Get Your Love by Redbone and Hooked On A Feeling (an original by BJ Thomas) was playing on the radio, I thought those performers were black. Redbone had a top-40 song in early 1972 called The Witch Queen Of New Orleans. That song is quite intriguing to hear. Give that one a listen!

FLAG on the play with a few artists but the one that jumps out as Redbone. They were not a one hit wonder. Witch Queen of New Orléans is considered a hit. It hovered around 19 to 23 on some charts.

Mungo Jerry is NO one-hit wonder!!! Several hits world wide after "In the Summertime", like "Baby Jump", "Lady Rose", "Alright Alright Alright", "Open up", "Feels like I´m in Love", "Hello Nadine", "You don´t have to be in the army", "Long legged Woman dressed in black" etc.

Yes, these people need to do better. Regarding Redbone, "The Witch Queen of New Orleans" made #21, so the video poster failed here; that's just using Top 40. If one expands to using Hot 100, then "Maggie" counts, too!

"Come And Get Your Love" was released 1973 en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Redbone_discography

@johyuujin3079 6 дней назад

bottom line is they were "a hit" because the radio stations wouldn't stop playing that CRAP! nobody in their right mind wanted to listen to that crap as much as they played it. With today's (ever since the internet) technology you can find literally 100's and 100's of songs that the radio stations never played that VERY clearly show that the radio stations played CRAP and that especially includes most all of your so-called one hit wonders. CRAP
