    One of my favourites from the legend that was Bowie.

    And for something more recognisable this one’s always worth a closer listen. The lyrics are quite something. Bowies cocaine period.
    BTW I reckon David Sanborn’s sax work on this is as iconic as the line on Gerry Rafferty’s Baker St

    Had to post this now. When it comes to classic one hit wonders this takes the cake

    Back the late 80s I saw a band in a West London pub by chance that happened to be Raphael Ravenscroft. The blower of the classic sax line.

    I can’t accept that as a one hit wonder when he sung “ Stuck in the Middle with you” ( admittedly with different band members )

    @MN5 as you say. Different band. But I guess you have a point.

    We started a thread for one hit wonders but fuck it I’ll chuck this here.

    Same era and WAY more of a OHW than the above

    We've had this discussion before. "Right Down the Line" is also a popular GR song on the same album as "Baker Street".

    Baker Street never made no.1, while this song was no.1 in one of the Billboard charts.

    I had to look that up. The “Adult Contemporary “ chart.
    That’s weak.

    Upgraded the music system with a new streamer - huge difference. This came up. Awesome production.

    @Crucial Only found out he is Scottish. But he had a couple of other good songs: Stuck in the middle of you and Right down the line. 2 more than AHA although taking a stab at that.

    Jeepers, the Chillis have actually released something in the last two decades that is pretty good, must be the chugging bass line.

    Heard it on Hauraki this morning.

    @MN5 Leaving aside the fact that they had a gazillion hits in the Netherlands and elsewhere you are ignoring

    which was actually there biggest hit reaching the Billboard Top 10 in the early 80's

    I was living in southern NL at the time. It was incessant.

    I stand corrected…….sort of…….

    Google confirms these guys have been prolific but ask your average person on the street to name a second song of theirs and they’ll very likely stare blankly.

    I'd have struggled on the first tbh

    Really ? It’s a song that everyone knows I would have thought even if they don’t know the name of the band.
