That said, there ARE actually one-hit-wonders, just a lot fewer of them than a lot of writers imagine.
I hated that song when it was a hit. But a funny thing happened. I bought that actual vinyl LP at an estate sale a couple of years ago and discovered they were actually a folk duet, and darned good at that genre. It’s a great album, except for that ridiculous “hit”.
Oh, and the Rooftop Singers’ “Walk Right In”.
Yep.
I’d say those ARE real OHWs.
Erik Darling, BTW, did have a bit of a career otherwise.
