WHOA! IMHO That was one of the combination baddest songs and videos.

Here's another. I may have posted this before. Bad cover of great song AND bad video! Not sure who Tommy Seebach was, or how he ever got a band, a label to support him, & then a video.

Do you think anyone would have the nerve to record a song like this one hit wonder today?

That bass line is great! This guy does a nice job of recreating it. If only I had that Precision, I gave away.

Old school stuff. Young Rascals. Actually, many hit wonders. But, what the heck.

Cowsills were not exactly a one hit wonder:

Both these ditties were top 10 hits. Heck, they even released two "best of" albums, although I don't know what they included.

The Seekers also had a couple other hits:




Fun fact: The Partridge Family TV show was inspired by The Cowsills.

(I admit to getting some help from the Interwebs in identifying the above hits but I thought both groups had others, especially "Hair" and the other "I'll Never Find Another You"..
