What thread?

Yes. More than one hit. I was just thinking back and he popped into my head.


kitty_kitty:

You know who he reminds me of? that person WHOSE NAME YOU MUST NOT SAY ON THESE BOARDS, who you had a crush on. He was a bloody good dancer. I remember dancing to Terence with him. Swoon.

:)

yeah, there were 4 in all (iirc)- the first one ('introducing the hardline according to...'), 'neither fish nor flesh', where he tripped out on a load of mushies and wrote some delightfully wonky soul-based pop- a criminally underated album; the third one, whatever that was called (just checked- it was 'symphony or damn'), and Terence Trent D'Arby's Vibrator, which also has some classic stuff on it like 'read my lips (I dig your scene)' which is in 6/4 :D

one hit wonders I still love? kelly marie- feels like I'm in love

You mean The Lion Sleeps Tonight, a cover. They had a follow up Fantasy Island, which went to number 5 (I just know rubbish like this, I dare not google) so technically not a one hit wonder.
 
Safety Dance - Men Without Hats
Mickey - Tony Bazil
Japanese Boy - Anika
Kissing with Confidence - Will Powers
The Honey Thief - Hipsway.

I would say The rock steady crew for 'hey you the rock steady crew' (because it is the greatest song ever made) but I know that Uprock and Shes Fresh were also technically 'hits'.

I am sure there
