Head East--Never been...

Holy cow, all this time I thought that was done by Jefferson Airplane/Starship.

This is a badass song, talented guys, just couldn't stay together long enough....

Good one, Craig. Had a compilation 8-track made for me in 11th grade with Jo Jo Gunne & that song on it!

To the 'Head East' guys - "Flat As A Pancake"
Jo Jo Gunne - 'Shake That Fat'

Since this isn't really a one hot wonder thread I'll nominate Hot Chocolate with Emma...

Now that's a 1 hit wonder.

another one hit song that is just bad.

Vicki Lawrence from the Carol Burnett show.

Quote:

Lawrence got her start as one of the scores of hopefuls on the syndicated Johnny Mann's Stand Up And Cheer program. But she is most known for her #1 hit, "The Night the Lights Went Out in Georgia", a song written by her first husband Bobby Russell, which was released on Bell Records in November 1972. It sold over two million copies, and was awarded a gold disc by the R.I.A.A. in April 1973.[3] (Cher was offered the song first but, unbeknownst to her, her then-husband Sonny Bono had turned it down.)

"He Did With Me," Lawrence's follow-up to "The Night the Lights Went Out in Georgia," reached #75 in the United States, although it became her biggest hit in Australia, peaking at #1 there in November 1973. She followed it up there with "Ships In The Night" (1974). A year later, in the fall of 1975, Lawrence managed one last minor US chart entry on the Private Stock label with "The Other Woman" (#81).

She released a disco album entitled Newborn Woman late in 1979. The album produced the minor disco hit "Don't Stop the Music".

(Edit - just did a quick Wiki search - they actually had quite a career, even spun off another duo - Godley And Creme. Prog rock.)

Can't forget Artist: 10CC Song: "The things we do for Love." But I agree two hits at best. Good candidate for online single buyers.
