"Summer Rain" is a song written by #JamesHendricks and performed by American musician #JohnnyRivers on his 1968 LP #Realization. It reached No. 14 on the US Billboard #Hot100, No. 6 on the US Cash Box Top 100, and No. 10 in Canada in early January, 1968.

Johnny ‘Guitar’ Watson came up in LA, influencing guitarists with his sharp, fingerpicked attack. As blues gave way to soul/funk, Watson reinvented himself as a gold-toothed, sharply dressed funk showman. “A Real Mother for Ya” reached an oh-so-close #41 on the #Hot100 #OneHitWondered #MusicSky

"Before My Heart Finds Out" is a 1978 single and hit song by #GeneCotton. It was the debut single from his eighth album, Save the Dancer. The song became his greatest hit, reaching number 23 on the US Billboard #Hot100 and spending three weeks at number 17 in Canada.

Pressha next joined the Southsyde B.O.I.Z., whose “Get Ready, Here It Comes (It’s the Choo-Choo)” was released on LaFace Records in 1996. The bass record reached #96 on the #Billboard #Hot100, giving Pressha his first taste of the national charts. #Pressha #LaFace #OneHitWondered #MusicSky

“Dancing for Pennies” picked up some radio play, but never charted on the US #Billboard #Hot100. The single’s failure pretty much ended MCA’s attempt to build the Afternoon Delights into a conventional group… and the studio project soon came to an end. #TheAfternoonDelights #OneHitWondered

Darrell Banks followed up with “Somebody (Somewhere) Needs You,” which reached #34 on the R&B chart, but topped out at #55 on the US #Billboard #Hot100. #DarrellBanks #OneHitWondered #MusicSky

Love quickly became one of the hottest bands on the ‘60s Sunset Strip... Jac Holzman signed them as Elektra Records’ first rock group. Their 1966 debut included a hard-driving remake of Bacharach & David’s “My Little Red Book,” which reached #52 on the US #Billboard #Hot100 #OneHitWondered #MusicSky

Alicia Bridges got boxed in as disco… but her self-titled 1978 LP mixed R&B, rock, soul & blues. Her follow-up single “Body Heat” leaned toward rock and stalled out at #86 on the US #Billboard #Hot100, making “I Love the Nightlife” her only US #Top40 hit. #AliciaBridges #OneHitWondered #MusicSky

"Love Takes Time" is a song by the #softRock band #Orleans. It peaked at number 11 on the #Billboard #Hot100 in May 1979 and was their biggest hit since their 1976 single "Still the One." The song also reached number 13 on the U.S. Adult Contemporary chart. In Canada.

#2HitTuesdays 1965’s “Don’t Be Scared” by The Rip Chords missed the #Hot100 altogether… and the original Rip Chords recording operation essentially ended in 1965. #TheRipChords #OneHitWondered #MusicSky

#2HitTuesdays The vocals situation for The Rip Chords created decades of confusion over who actually sang what… and the hot-rod formula soon began running out of gas. “One Piece Topless Bathing Suit” managed to squeak onto the #Billboard #Hot100 at #96. #TheRipChords #OneHitWondered #MusicSky

Peepin’ that Apollo marquee, you might’ve noticed The Danleers. The Brooklyn, NYC vocal group became one of the very first US #OneHitWonder honorees when their “One Summer Night” was #16 on the first US #Billboard #Hot100 the week of August 4, 1958. #TheDanleers #OneHitWondered #MusicSky

The week of September 8, 1958, York, PA doo-wop group The Quin-Tones became one of the first US #OneHitWonder honorees of the #Billboard #Hot100 era when “Down the Aisle of Love” entered the US #Billboard #Top40 at #23. The single spent 6 weeks on the chart, peaking at #20. #OneHitWondered #MusicSky

Nik Kershaw was one of the UK’s brightest ’80s pop stars... He broke through in 1984 with “Wouldn’t It Be Good.” It reached #4 in the UK & made the Top 10 in several countries… but America was the odd one out. It stalled at #46 on the #Billboard #Hot100. #OneHitWondered #MusicSky

"Can't Take My Eyes Off You" is a 1967 song written by #BobCrewe and #BobGaudio, and first recorded and released as a single by Gaudio's #FourSeasons bandmate #FrankieValli. The song was among his biggest hits, earning a #goldRecord and reaching No. 2 on the #Billboard #Hot100 for a week.

Gonna do the 9-12-92 #Hot100 very briskly, since I just did that big post about the previous week's last week.

Anyway, here's 100-81, which is basically another iconic En Vogue single and a bunch of boring songs.

“We’ll Sing in the Sunshine” earned Gale Garnett a 1965 Grammy for Best Folk Performance. The single remains her only US #Top40 hit... Garnett's self-written follow-up, “Lovin’ Place,” topped out at #54 on the US #Billboard #Hot100. #GaleGarnett #OneHitWondered #MusicSky

Got access to the old #Hot100 s again, so here's a quick runthrough of the whole chart for Sep. 5, 1992:

Larry Verne stayed with the historical-comedy formula for his follow-up... but “Mister Livingston” topped out at #75 on the #Hot100. Other singles like “Abdul’s Party,” “Charlie at the Bat,” “The Speck” & “The Coward That Won the West” failed to chart. #LarryVerne #OneHitWondered #MusicSky

Candlebox followed “Far Behind” with alt-rock hits like "Cover Me" & "Simple Lessons," which kept ‘em on rock radio… but Candlebox never charted again on the US #Billboard #Hot100. #Candlebox #OneHitWondered #MusicSky
