More one-hit wonders! These make me wanna dance...

[lizziegrace]

Hamilton, Joe Frank & Reynolds - "Don't Pull Your Love". Not a clue what the video's about, but the song's great. :)

And Cornelius Brothers and Sister Rose - "It's Too Late" The video has some great old movie stills.

And my all-time favorite Spiral Staircase - "More Today Than Yesterday"

1. I love the vocal on "More Today"

That pure, nearly female male vocal 70s-pop sound, a la Todd Rundgren.

Seriously, as much as I like more rocking and later stuff, this song gets turned as loud on the car radio as anything. Way cool.

Thanks.

:hi:

[lizziegrace]

5. I do too

Now I'm off to look up Todd Rundgren videos. :hi:

[darkstar]

I had the 45", but I never heard anything else from Pilot.

[lizziegrace]

[DaDooRonRon]

25. Not bad, but I have to "call you" on Cornelius Bros/Sister Rose

Definitely NOT a one-hit wonder.

Unless you forgot "Treat Her Like A Lady"

And even though there are no youtube videos let us not forget Leapy Lee and the immortal "Little Arrows."

Don't get me started! :)

[lizziegrace]

"Treat Her Like a Lady" is a great song.

40. Like I needed that song stuck in my head

you fiend!

[gbate]

38. Those are great, but Hamilton, Joe Frank and Reynolds were not a one-hit wonder.

Remember this one? (sorry, can't access youtube here at work)

Baby, baby, fallin' in love
I'm fallin' in love again
Baby, baby, fallin' in love
I'm fallin' in love again

I could never see what fate had meant for me
And then you came and made my dreams match reality
Maybe you can see all the things you've meant to me
And my simple fate is at the gate and, girl, you've got the key

CHORUS

It seems like yesterday you and I first loved this way
But now I know how love can grow with each and every day
As we lay at midnight's hour and feel love's hidden power
So strong and bold as life unfolds its mystery to me

CHORUS

You and me for eternity in love will always be
Young and free and that should be the way it's gotta be

[lizziegrace]

41. My mistake

That was pointed out upthread and it was too change my subject line.

Perhaps we should let this sink due to the errors? :shrug:

[gbate]

42. No! This thread is the best part of my day so far.

[Bake]

43. OK, two-hit wonders.

Two-hit wonders get NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO appreciation. They do specials on VH-1 about one-hit wonders, but where are the 2HWs?

Bake

[NoGOPZone]

44. Neither were Cornelius Brothers and Sister Rose

Treat Her Like a Lady was also a Top Ten song.

[gbate]

45. My brother used to call that song "Beetle-ack".

[lizziegrace]

46. Thanks

That was pointed out upthread last night.

Audio only on this one.

[DaDooRonRon]

52. What?? - You forgot "Baby Now That I've Found You"

Their debut Top 20 single from '67.

If this keeps up we're gonna have to rename this "two (or more) hit wonders". :) :)

Seriously, though - keep them coming - they're a lot of fun and they take me back to some interesting times.

[mac56]

53. Sorry to pick nits, but neither Hamilton, Joe Frank and Reynolds

or Cornelius Bros. and Sister Rose were one hit wonders.

HJF&R:"Don't Pull Your Love", "Fallin' in Love", "Winners and Losers"

CB&SR:"Treat Her Like A Lady", "Too Late To Turn Back Now", "Don't Ever Be Lonely"

[lizziegrace]

multiple times...

Thanks.
