August 25, 200717 yr not really roger miller as i am fully aware of 'little green apples' and 'england swings', i think they are well known.. I bet most people don't know them and they're hardly played a lot whereas King of the Road is one of those songs that just about everyone knows.

August 26, 200717 yr 1969 - Je T'aime...Moi Non Plus - Jane Birkin & Serge Gainsbourg 1969 - Sugar Sugar - Archies Other one hit wonders are acts that had only one chart hit and nothing else charting however minor. That's the official line from Guinness and the OCC and also seeing as people in other countries are not blocked from viewing this site, obv some will have loads of hits in other countries. btw was watching the #1 hits of 69 today with those two tracks above. was wondering whether if anyone will actually think of re-activating the archies concept. could be the new s club :lol:

August 28, 200717 yr Does anyone realise that there were only 7 TRUE one hit wonders in the 60s. A true ohw is an act that had only one #1 hit and nothing else that charted ever. The true ohw of the 60s were: 1969 - Sugar Sugar - Archies Other one hit wonders are acts that had only one chart hit and nothing else charting however minor. That's the official line from Guinness and the OCC However it could be said that the Archies are not a true one hit wonder, esp. if you believe that the lead singer of this band has anything to do with Blur :lol: :lol: http://www.popboks.com/img/albumi/gorillaz.jpg (Cuff-links)
August 28, 200717 yr Here are some of my favourites Thunderclap Newman...........Something in the air Zager & Evans..................In the year 2525 Overlanders...................Michelle Scott McKenzie................San Francisco Crazy World of Arthur Brown....................Fire
August 31, 200717 yr Easybeats - Friday on My Mind #6 1966 Also had Hello, How Are You #20 Hello How Are You deserved to be much bigger. I have the original single.
September 1, 200717 yr The Archies had a few hits in Australia, Jingle Jangle and Who's Your Baby are a couple that still get airplay and Get On The Line (The Sugar Sugar album's original title track) is a monster club hit. That still fills dancefloors everywhere.
September 1, 200717 yr I heard "Terry" by Twinkle last night. She only had one other minor hit with "Golden Lights". "Terry" is a classic death disc (like "Leader of the pack" and "Johnny remember me")
September 1, 200717 yr Author I heard "Terry" by Twinkle last night. She only had one other minor hit with "Golden Lights". "Terry" is a classic death disc (like "Leader of the pack" and "Johnny remember me") i think theres a idea for another thread comming on here!,...lol
September 2, 200717 yr Probably alone in liking of this ohw from the 60s but oh well here goes John Fred & His Playboys Judy In Disguise my other fave which has already been mentioned Thunderclap Newman Something in the air
September 6, 200717 yr However it could be said that the Archies are not a true one hit wonder (Cuff-links) The Cuff Links were a group of session musicians the also provided the sound of the Archies on their records. Anyone else remember this beside Myself and Mushyman. UOdClP5JFE8
September 7, 200717 yr Author Probably alone in liking of this ohw from the 60s but oh well here goes John Fred & His Playboys Judy In Disguise my other fave which has already been mentioned Thunderclap Newman Something in the air 'judy in disguise (with glasses) ' was a great pop song, dunno why you think youd be alone liking it! erm... i didnt know the cuff links were effectively 'the archies'...
September 7, 200717 yr Author The Cuff Links were a group of session musicians the also provided the sound of the Archies on their records. Anyone else remember this beside Myself and Mushyman. UOdClP5JFE8 that was one annoying song! #1 for weeks, it really didnt deserve it! replaced by..... 2 little boys! gawd what a way to end the 60's.
September 7, 200717 yr ELOISE was barry ryan :) and he did have a string of minor hits that were actually quite good. MOVE ON UP was from 1971 so will qualify when we do the ohw of the 70's :) LOVE 'green tamborine'... :) Here's Barry Ryan's follow-up to Eloise which peaked at #25 - Love Is Love vtkhvVUXGGg
September 8, 200717 yr The Cuff Links were a group of session musicians the also provided the sound of the Archies on their records. Anyone else remember this beside Myself and Mushyman. UOdClP5JFE8 well obv i know it, but i only watched the show it was on about 2 weeks ago :lol: so regarding the cuff links/archies, still one-hit wonders?
