Re: Post 122 - One Hit Wonders

Eddy Grant had "Romancing The Stone" in addition to "Electric Avenue".

'Frankie Goes To Hollywood' had "Two Tribes" in addition to "Relax".

"Putting On The Ritz" by Taco would be a one hit wonder except it wasn't his. Irving Berlin wrote it half a century earlier.

Romancing the Stone reached #40 1984 US Top 100

Two Tribes, #43 same year, US Top 100. Hardly hits.

Astoundingly obvious who wrote “Putin on the Ritz”. That doesn’t change the fact that Taco was a one hit wonder with his version.
