Blaster’s brought another… Formed in Sheffield, England as Ace Flash & the Dynamos, but shortened to Ace... they earned #OneHitWonder honors in the US with the Paul Carrack-penned “How Long.” The debut single off their first album peaked at #3 on the US #Billboard #Top40. #OneHitWondered #MusicSky
Yepper, as crazy as it sounds, the eclectic rock group Grateful Dead earned US #OneHitWonder honors with “Touch of Grey.” The single spent nine weeks on US #Billboard #Top40, peaking at #9. #JerryGarcia #RobertHunter #OneHitWondered #MusicSky
That partnership of Jerry Garcia & Robert Hunter created the Grateful Dead’s only US #Top40 hit. Garcia wrote the music for “Touch of Grey,” while Hunter supplied the lyrics. The Dead first performed it live on September 15, 1982, nearly 5 years before it appeared on an LP. #OneHitWondered #MusicSky
In 1979, Amii Stewart earned US #OneHitWonder honors when her classic disco cover of “Knock On Wood” spent 14 weeks on the US #Billboard #Top40, including one week sitting at the #1 spot! #AmiiStewart #OneHitWondered #MusicSky
Wilson Pickett’s “In the Midnight Hour” helped define ’60s soul... It was recorded at Stax with Booker T. & the M.G.’s & the Memphis Horns. The single hit #1 on Billboard’s R&B chart and crossed over to #21 on the #Top40, giving Pickett his breakthrough pop hit. #OneHitWondered #MusicSky
Hugo & Luigi…? Yepper! Producers Hugo Peretti & Luigi Creatore were also #OneHitWonder honorees! In 1960, they spent 3 weeks on the US #Billboard #Top40 with “Just Come Home.” #HugoPeretti #LuigiCreatore #OneHitWondered #MusicSky
The week ending September 22, 1973, Brooklyn folk/soft-rock harmony group Cross Country earned US #OneHitWonder honors when their cover of Wilson Pickett's “In the Midnight Hour” entered the US #Billboard #Top40 at #39. The single spent 4 weeks on the chart, peaking at #30. #OneHitWondered #MusicSky
Pretty close to the same time... "You Light Up My Life" was 1977 and the Rex Smith hit you mentioned hit the US #Top40 in late 1979. So they were both definitely being played on some radio at the same time, esp. on Adult Contemporary stations.
Birthday wishes for American choreographer/dancer & singer Toni Basil, #BOTD in 1943. Toni earned US #OneHitWonder honors in 1982 when her new wave/bubblegum poppin’ rendition of the Chinn & Chapman-penned “Mickey” spent 18 weeks on the US #Billboard #Top40, peaking at #1. #OneHitWondered #MusicSky
Happy birthday to American singer/author Debby Boone, #BOTD in 1956. Boone earned US #OneHitWonder honors in 1977 when her pop-worship cover of the sentimental, soft ballad “You Light Up My Life” spent 21 weeks on the US #Billboard #Top40, 10 of ‘em at #1!!! #DebbyBoone #OneHitWondered #MusicSky
Happy birthday to Johnette Napolitano, #BOTD in 1957. As the lead vocalist/songwriter & bassist for LA alt-rockers Concrete Blonde, Johnette earned US #OneHitWonder honors when their #1 Modern Rock ballad “Joey” spent 8 weeks on the US #Billboard #Top40, peaking at #19. #OneHitWondered #MusicSky
