This guy was the king of one hit wonders

Quote
Burrows sang the lead vocals on several one-hit wonder songs under different group names, Edison Lighthouse’s “Love Grows (Where My Rosemary Goes)” (February 1970);

White Plains’ “My Baby Loves Lovin’” (March 1970);

The Pipkins’ novelty song “Gimme Dat Ding” (April 1970); and The First Class’ “Beach Baby” (July 1974).

He also sang lead vocals on The Brotherhood of Man’s “United We Stand”, which reached #10 on the UK charts and also reached #13 in the U.S.

Some one-hit wonders hold up well.  Others not so much, just a flash in the pan!

"In The Garden of Eden"  Man...
That song was so long (an entire album side) It might count as 5 one hit wonders.

I didn’t know there was another version of “tainted Love” I was thinking of the 80s that played everywhere when I was in college and morphed into “Baby where did our love go”.

It was so dang awful it was good.

If, as anti-Covid-vaxxers claim, https://www.poynter.org/fact-checking/2021/robert-f-kennedy-jr-said-the-covid-19-vaccine-is-the-deadliest-vaccine-ever-made-thats-not-true/ , https://gospelnewsnetwork.org/2021/11/23/covid-shots-are-the-deadliest-vaccines-in-medical-history/ , The Vaccine is deadly, where in the US have Pfizer and Moderna hidden the millions of bodies of those who died of "vaccine injury"? Is reality a Big Pharma Shill?

Millions now living should have died. Anti-Covid-Vaxxer ghouls hardest hit.

Music Choice has these decades channels and I had it on the 70s one one day and that is how I discovered that song. I heard it and thought "this is weird, and yet I love it."
