I still can’t figure out in that video if he’s talking to a police detective or a newspaper reporter.
They also found popularity with “Johnny Come Home”.
Survivor had more hits than Eye of the Tiger.
“Man this drags me back in time”
What bugs me is I can remember all these songs and their lyrics but I don’t have a clue in hell where my car keys are!
Incense and Peppermints - Strawberry Alarm Clock

They had a few hits in Canada. They also played at our high school and that was memorable.
Coltrane was very underrated and a Babe’ to boot.
“Spirit in the Sky” is the best OHW. But Thunderclap Newman’s “Something in the Air” is right behind it.
Kixx. “Dont Close Your Eyes”
Steelheart. “I’ll Never Let You Go” (Angel Eyes)
LA Guns. “Ballad of Jayne”.......that’s a really REALLY good one.
RLTW
LOL
True!
It was written by Andy Kim who had a few hits of his own.
Here’s a good one hit wonder story..... The band Looking Glass, which had a huge hit with the song “Brandy”, disbanded in 1974, and some of its members formed a new group called Starz, who subsequently had one minor top 40 hit with “Cherry Baby”..... the lead singer of Starz was Michael Smith, whose brother was teen heartthrob Rex Smith, who also had one top 40 single with “You Take My Breath Away”...... So 3 one hit wonders all interconnected with each other!
No, they had another hit.
