96 Tears was a big hit, and as stated prior, pretty popular for oldies stations/shows. Acutally, I don't know if this is a 1-hit wonder because I don't recall anything else he did.
It used an organ as the principle instrument.

"one hit" just because moldy oldies radio has such a limited playlist.
As mentioned in the article, Smashmouth covered his hit "Can't Get Enough Of You Baby" in the 1990s (or early 2000s).
There were other singles, I don't always know which was the hit side.

When "96 Tears" first came out, some radio station started the rumor that "Question Mark and the Mysterians" were actually the Rolling Stones. In fact, the vocals on "96 Tears" sounds a lot like Mick Jagger and are even sung in the Jagger style.
Back in those days, we didn't have the Internet to immediately debunk stuff like that so the rumor spread like wildfire and took several years to finally dispel them.
