Matthew Wilder - Break My Stride

[YT]TY41o-iZStI[/YT]
 
Starland Vocal's Afternoon Delight brings back great memories of a week in the mountains where I met a lovely young lass - and the first...time...was in the afternoon. My #1. Also:

Zager & Evans - In The Year 2525

Actually a 1 hit wonder, but I liked the "B" side of this 45 as well:

Every Mother's Son- Come On Down ( To My Boat)

The "B" side - not a hit- Come Put Your Mind At Ease

Daniel Boone - Beautiful Sunday

Vanity Fare - Hitchin' A Ride

Gilbert O'Sullivan - Alone Again Naturally


Yes, I admit it- I like Bubble Gum


One of my best memories is the following. My very first public performance as a solo- in the school choir. I could sing, and my voice changed early so it was up to me: Sgt. Barry Saddler - The Ballad Of The Green Berets

Rockwell is the son of Barry Gordy of Motown Records fame. His second single Obscene Phone Caller also charted, climbing as high as number 35 on the Hot 100.

Sweeney Todd's lead singer was Nick Gilder who scored solo hits with Hot Child in the City and Here Comes the Night. Gilder also co-wrote Scandal's mid-80's smash The Warrior. A teenage Bryan Adams was part of Sweeney Todd, he played guitar on their 2nd record.

Asia was a super group that consisted of members of Yes and ELP. They charted 4 hits singles - Heat Of The Moment, Only Time Will Tell, Don't Cry and The Smile Has Left Your Eyes.

Steve you might have some competition for your "wet blanket" title. :)

Lobo- Me And you And A Dog Named Boo.

We have to define hit. Top 40?

Sorry Jon, I'd Love you to Want Me was a bigger hit than Me and You and a Dog Named Boo. Ah the glory of reference books!

Seriously though, I did think Lobo had more than one or two.
