One Hit Wonders (Voter Thread) |
Welcome To The Canteen Music Dedication!! In our continued effort to bring music themes that you want, we continue this week with our Canteen voted thread of One Hit Wonders!This list was compiled from various sources. Some of you may disagree with an artist showing up in our One Hit Wonders list, but that's okay. We're not here to state that we are the authority on such matters. We're here to enjoy some music from popular artist (although, not popular for long) of their respective music eras. There are many artists/songs that are considered One Hit Wonders. However, we don't have all day and night to list them. We've gotta sleep now and again! Hehehe! We enjoy feedback. If you have requests, please ping laurenmarlowe on the thread or via FReepmail. As always, we greatly appreciate the opportunity to entertain our Troops, Veterans, and their family members. Enjoy!

LOL!! I've got the Red Rubber Ball covered, and look for your other request!
To: MoJo2001; Kathy in Alaska
Pleasure's all mine! Hope some of the younger generation drop by and sample what you all are serving up over the weekend, who knows - they might find some good "old" music that's "new" to'em!
Those tunes I tossed up are from a handwritten list I've been compiling since, I don't know for sure, the late 70's-early '80's (?) or so, about stuff that I heard making the airwaves at the time and from what I may have on records-tapes and CDs. Four pages front and back so far in small print with more errant pages and scraps of paper floating around here.......somewhere.

We have both songs Good Lord, I give up. You've beaten me for tonight. If you have a ping list for this then please add me to it. I'll come up with some tougher ones for next time.
To: Kathy in Alaska
Hi, Ma! How are you tonight?
To: Drumbo
~~Breakfast At Tiffany's~~
