Gene,

I never heard that one before. Thanks for posting it.

They recorded a number of songs, but this is the only one to make the charts. I could never understand why, I always thought the lead singer Margo Sylvia had a beautiful voice and the group harmonized very well.

I didn't know history behind Buffalo Gals. That's why I come here.

Mostly known as a songwriter, this is his only record to chart above 55. This beautiful song hit #4 on the US charts. He died too young at the age of 48.


And this beautiful cover of the song.

Here is my favorite one hit wonder. Bob Lind was at a party and made this song up on the fly. His friends were impressed and made him write the lyrics down.

That link doesn't work, but I assume you meant this song: (I like it, too.)

Here's a one hit wonder from 1960. I heard it this evening on my way home.

My mistake, he wasn't a one hit wonder. He was a two hit wonder. Here's the other one.
