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!

I just came back from a very long funeral....

Big Hugs back {{{{Connie}}}}

[mabelkitty]

LOL!!
Rappers get such a hard time, and yet all during the 80s, these little nuggets of controversy were being played on radio and flying under the radar.
If Ma had gone to the Prince concert with me, well, let's just say I'd still be grounded.....

Hi, lauren:

Another rout against Code Pink outside Walter Reed Army Medical Center.

For them having cell~phones in DC, which is supposedly a hotbed of political activism; Code Pink's weekly numbers and message are truly pathetic.

Doin' good Kathy! Hated to bother you while you're so busy posting all this great music for the troops! Thank you for that!

The funeral today was sad, but bittersweet. My cousin, a gospel preacher, did the service and he had so many sweet stories about Dana and all of the rest of us. I think it gave us peace to know that her memory has become part of us all. And it gave us the incentive to try to get a reunion together!

How are you doing? Hope you have a great weekend!

[EsmeraldaA]

OHHH Ma, thank you for the Hugs . We had a little bit this morning
