    definition of one hit wonders

    Even though Eileen was there second Number One? That makes them at least the definition of a two hit wonder.

    straw poll

    who can name the other?

    I have nil all and fuck all chance of doing so without google.

    So based on that given my superior music knowledge I think the term “one hit wonder” is astonishingly apt.

    It was literally in front of your eyes

    Geno
    No 1

    Not a bad tune……but I haven’t heard it til right now.

    This one hit wonder talk is simply based on age, location etc

    Dexys other number one was the posted “Geno”. Was massively well known when I was a teen among anyone that followed the UK scene at the time. Many many years later I even went to a Geno Washington gig in Putney on the basis of that Dexys song alone.

    I won’t claim to like the Proclaimers that much but again only a one hit wonder at a very superficial level. A whole musical/movie was created with their songs and then there’s this…

    100%

    Fantastic

    As good as any National Anthem rendition (and that's coming from a regular singer of the the best of the best)

    Letter from America
    Sunshine on Leith
    I'm Gonna Be (500 miles)
    I'm On My Way

    Great documentary

    Fair call. I have heard that one.

    Still unlistenable though.

    Catch a pub band in Scotland and you are far more likely to hear them play “I’m on my way “ than 500 miles.
    And everyone will sing along.

    One hit wonder for those whose musical sphere is limited to rock and Shrek.

    Too-Rye-Ay was one of the first cassettes I bought in the early 1980s. I always thought that their cover of "Jackie Wilson Said" charted better than it did.

    Classic Top of the Pops appearance with the crew putting up a photo of Scottish Darts Legend Jocky Wilson instead of Jackie Wilson 🙂

    Still think what MJB did to this …

    Is one of the best things I’ve ever heard. Sensational song sung by one of the best voices in the business.

    Utterly superb. Emotional. Powerful.

    Epic.

    This came up as recommended to me after.

    Arguably the greatest vocal ever. It’ll never come to me when compiling lists, but this really is up there with the greatest moments in time

    @MajorRage Saw her in concert at Kew Gardens a few years back and most of her stuff was pretty yawn (even if well sung). Seems to work really real well in combo with others like the one you posted though. Another example is this Stevie Wonder number.
    You can skip past the GM part for the first minute.

    @MajorRage Don't disagree but having seen all of the three tenors in concert overall I thought Domingo was the greatest performer.

    Italia 90 certainly had the best pre-match entertainment ever!
