Sorry, I know this post was yonx ago but, being an ol' fart, I do remember this one.... such happy days for sure!! Ahhhh, nostalgia.... its not what it used to be, is it???!!!
OMG!!!!!! Now you really will think I've lost the plot. That was, in fact, a response to Belushi's post but there was no "quote post" facility...... or was there....???!! Hee heee..!
Hmmmmm, Tom Cochrane, The Knack, Wham, Scorpions and Thin Lizzy were not one hit wonders over here. Someone needs to put Telly Savalis on that list, LMAO.
Patrick Swayze??? What on earth did he "sing"??? I'm with you there, Jane, Telly Savalas - wasn't it "If"?? But then, so many have done that one, including William Shatner and not forgetting Richard Harris did "MacArthur Park". Oh, my giddy aunt!! But I'm glad to hear you don't think Thin Lizzy were a one hit wonder!!!!
Roy Orbison may have only had one #1 hit with Pretty Woman, but he also had a #2 hit that made #1 in Britian with "Only the Lonely".
Moreover, he remained an active musician throughout his entire life and was inducted in to several rock-n-roll halls of fame.
It must be pretty hard to make that #1 spot. The problem is, is that when your song comes out if something else is slightly more popular it will knock yours down to #2. And then it's over because it becomes 'old stuff' by the next week.
I certainly think that "Only the Lonely" should have made #1. In fact, it would have if it hadn't been for some other competing song at the time. Just bad timing is all.
Is funny, this thread got me thinking about the tunes I listened to when I was in high school and a few years after. Cheap Trick, Thin Lizzy, Goddo, Scorpions, Streetheart, Headpins, Toto, Donny Iris, Bad Company, Kiss, Trooper.....I think these guys are all dead now, LOL.
