Who Was Your Favorite One Hit Wonder

Vayasteve, I have an album from 1975 titled "I've Got The Music In Me". It is Thelma Houston And "Pressure Cooker". It is recorded direct to disc on virgin vinyl by Sheffield Labs.

Pressure Cooker consisted of: Lincoln Mayorga, Larry Carlton, Dean Parks, Jim Keltnor, Victor Feldman, Tom Scott ........

Needless to say, absolutely UN#@&*%$believable.

There is quite a bit of cheating going on. Mountain? One hit wonders? Didn't they do like 2 or 7 albums? I mean Mississippi Queen was a popular song, but it was NOT a one hit wonder.

I thnk I would even have to take issue to Crimson & Clover. The Shondells did I think 3 or 4 albums.

C'mon folks, dig a little deeper.

How about "Stormy" performed by the Classics IV?

Fmpnd, You Right! I forgot all about that one. Both, excellent tunes. Great sax in Stormy. Did they even do an album?

Bluenose. I often ask the same question. Is music less fun, or are we less fun? It's tough to figure. I honestly think that the stuff from the 50/60/70 era was better stuff. There were so many different influences back then. Just think about the influence of Motown alone.

The old saying, "You made your bed, now lie in it" is holding true.

I can't get this fucking Till Tuesday song out of my head!

They weren't kidding. Voice DO Carry. I was humming it last night while listening to the Thelma Houston that Vayasteve reminded me of.

I'm losing it.

Imin2u, AWESOME!!! "To sir with Love". Such a great tune.

Makes me think of "Ode to Billy Joe" by Bobbie Gentry.

I think that was 1967?

And Papa said to Mama as he passed around the blackeyed peas
"Well, Billy Joe never had a lick of sense, pass the biscuits, please"
"There's five more acres in the lower forty I've got to plow"
And Mama said it was shame about Billy Joe, anyhow
Seems like nothin' ever comes to no good up on Choctaw Ridge
And now Billy Joe MacAllister's jumped off the Tallahatchie Bridge.

Music was so cool then.

Fmpnd, Talk about memories...... all's I need now is a bong!

I just got back from Borders, Costco, and Gerosa records. $161 later, I'm on a 60s binge. At Costco, they had an incredible Time-Life 3 CD set called "60s Gold". All songs are digitally remastered from "original analog sources". What the hell that means I couldn't tell you. But man, they sound incredible. For #35.00, I would highly recommend the collection. 60 songs. Many of the ones we're discussing today.

I don't care what ANYBODY sez......Music was GREAT back then.

And Thanks to everyone, this IS a really great thread.

Music brings out the best in people.

O.K. I'm listening to this Time-Life collection and I just had to share this with everyone. How about:

The Cowsills / The Rain, The Park, and Other Things.

(I Love the Flower Girl)!!!!!!

Flowers in her hair.
Flowers everywhere.

Who the hell were the Cowsills?
