    Some true one-hit wonders are Friend and Lover's Reach Out of the Darkness, The Hondells's Little Honda, Zager and Evans' In the Year 2525, USA For Africa's We Are the World (probably one of the best known one-hit wonders), and M's Pop Muzic.

    Many others mentioned above are actually two-hit wonders. So often a group has one hit LP, one song of which is a big hit and another is a minor hit. Looking Glass did that, with Brandy the big hit and Jimmy Loves Mary Anne the minor hit. Still others had a hit, then had another several years later (Sugarloaf had Green Eyed Lady in 1970, and then had Don't Call Us We'll Call You in 1975. These are often confused with one-hit wonders (I classify that as minor mistakes since even the big labels that market them as one-hit wonders usually miss their other hit).

    There was a television show featuring one hit wonders back in December. This song was played near the end.

    I believe Gilbert O'Sullivan had one other hit---Claire.

    Another obscure group was Jefferson. They had a song, The Colour of My Love.

    Then again, I don't think too many folks would put J.S. Bach in the "one hit wonder" category.

    Nosferatu got the other one I wanted to add.

    Driver's Seat - Sniff N the Tears.

    I thought I felt my ears burning But I don't think that Billy Paul was a one hit wonder...he had a pretty long career.

    Here's my contribution: 'When Your Heart is Weak' by the group Cock Robin http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T4JVUBXuVRA, the song came out in 1985 and was a minor hit got some play on MTV too. The group eventually moved to Europe cuz they got a bigger response over there and they're still there. Love their music, wish I could have seen them in concert in the 80's.
