While technically a 2 hit wonder, I can only remember "Whatcha See is Whatcha Get" by The Dramatics
Ride Captain Ride- Blues Image
Little Green Bag - George Baker Selection

Uh, Ragtop, Peter and Gordon had a long line of hit singles. "World Without Love," "Lady Godiva," "Nobody I Know," and several others.

Sugar Sugar by The Archies. First record I ever bought Lots of great songs listed here! And, any band that doesn't want to play "Sugar Sugar" is not a band I'd join!

It was the 90's when I first really started paying attention to the OHW's. I think my favorites are "Breakfast At Tiffany's" by Deep Blue Something, and "Counting Blue Cars" by Dishwalla. They each had a couple records, but those were the only big singles.

My favorite "One Hit Wonder" was 96 Tears by "?" Mark and the Mysterians:
One of our FDP regulars was Tori who played with the "aging Mysterians" in their hometown of Saginaw MI. He also got to play a few specific gigs with "?". I became online friends with Tori and we visit at least once a week."?" and the Mysterians had parted the ways except for those few nostalgia classic rock live shows. Jack/Tori got to sit in on a few of those...but as often as not the original Mysterian bass player would take those gigs. (Apparently he worked nights and only took the night off to play the better paying gigs.)
Jack has occasionally with the Mysterians, but Frank seems to cover bass with his left hand as needed. Jack will sit in when asked but also has a couple of other projects that keep him busy.
There apparently was some internal issues between the Mysterians and "?" Mark over copyright and recording contract issues. If I understand, that has been addressed thru the legal options available.
96 Tears was "Must Play" by every band with a keyboard that I knew back in the 60s in my part of the world.

Toni Basil made her name as a member of the early break-dance group The Lockers (remember them on Soul Train?) and as a choreographer. And she had a huge hit with this one tune just as MTV was getting off the ground:

I've always liked Children of the Sun by Billy Thorpe.
Billy was Australian, and had several hits here with a band called The Aztecs before relocating to Los Angeles. Sadly passed away a few years ago.
He had a long and distinguished career in Australia, starting in the mid 60's.
He is a legend of Oz Rock.

"Ride Captain Ride- Blues Image"
Check out the B side......"Pay My dues" Pretty sure it is what the band would have preferred to be the A side.....pesky record company executives.
