Andy Kim had several hits. He wasn’t a one hit wonder. Baby I Love You. There was more.
I think Andy Kim was the lead vocal on the Aechies Sugar Sugar
@@wiliamhong273 The lead singer of the Archies was Ron Dante. Andy Kim and Jeff Barry wrote the song Sugar, Sugar. The song was originally for The Monkees but they turned it down.
True! However, he was a Neil Diamond wanna be which was his down fall.
As I understand it he was primarily a song writer, which can be just as good, if not better.
Name them.
The memories that these songs bring back...
Player also had This Time I’m In It For Love.
Player had three top 40 hits.
This Time hit #10 the following year.
By all measures, Player is not an One Hit Wonder.
@@raydunn8262 Right, and then "Prisoner Of Your Love," which I liked even better, reached #27.
@bobdavis4848 A true One Hit Wonder can't be any of the following:ll, either:
1. The artist had hits in other genres than Top 40, the Pop Charts. Like Rock, many songs weren't released on physical singles but had heavy rotation on Rock stations.
2. The artist had other hits in other countries. For example, some consider Rock Me Amadeus by Falco an OHW. It's not, Falco was huge in Germany and Europe.
@@raydunn8262 I fully agree with all that. But you’ll find a lot of disagreement on youtube. People who host channels, including AI bot type hosts, love using the “one hit wonder” term as part of their clickbait attempts. Even just in the US, Falco was not a one hit wonder, as “Vienna Calling” reached #18. I’ve had many jobs in radio and music retail, I have music all over the house, almost all genres. Many also call songs “one hit wonders,” which makes no sense. Artists might be “one hit wonders.” Songs don’t write songs, artists do.
Rock me gently was my jam as a kid when me and my buddies would put it on the oldies station every Friday nights in the summer.
My husband and I chose Magnet and Steel for our first dance at our wedding reception.
The reality is most songs we hear on the radio are one hit wonders, and most bands are lucky just to get at least one song on the air.
One of my favourite one hit wonders was by a British group called The Real Thing who had a big hit in 1976 with You To Me Are Everything.
Fav one hit wonder is "Life is a Rock" by Reunion.
It's fun to see how many lyrics I can remember from that. Gotta gosa gotta sweat a leonosa fender basin night tripper Doris day jack the ripper. Peter Paul so on.....
Brotherhood Of Man were not a one hit wonder. Their “Save Your Kisses For Me” reached #27. Andy Kim had seven top 40 hits.
Ain't the same group.
@@davidjgomm There was the same producer, same group name, same musical style.
All great hits. Andy Kim's Rock Me Gently had that Neil Diamond sort of vibe to it.
Koe-vin? Uh, Kuh-vin. Thank you, AI.
Andy Kim had a hit song in the 60s with a remake of "Baby I Love You" which he sung in a falsetto voice.
Life is a Rock (But the radio rolled me) by Reunion (1974) should've been mentioned!
Thanks For Sharing!
Ram Jam...Black Betty
Andy Kim had several hits under different names and he actually stepped away from the limelight to raise a family
I loved "Ariel" back then, but years later could never find it or knew who sang it
Magnet and Steel? I always thought it was "You are a maggot and I'm a schlemiel."
😂😂😂
Simple times in America, living with my Grandparents in Miami, didn’t realize how good things were.
Seasons in the sun. Terry Jacks
We had joy. We had fun. We had a wide variety of frozen entrees at our grocery freezer.
Agreed
um Edison light house was just a session band the lead singer had 5 hit's in the British top 100 at the same time
And the band shown in the video wasn't even them but guys from an agency hired to appear in the video because the label thought the actual guys including tony burrows, were too ugly.
How about - Starland Vocal Band with ‘Afternoon Delight’.
Beach Baby by First Class was a favorite of mine. Dont know of anything else they did.
i couldnt stand 'i love the night life' song
Teddy bear red sovine definitely original and different.
What about Lucky Star by Dean Friedman?
The Hollies Long Cool Woman
The Hollies had MANY song hits (most in the 60's but some also in the 70's)
Many hits but Hollies didn't really have a "sound" - their songs sound different from each other.
where is drivers seat by sniffin the tears
Ariel, never heard that before. This thing is not very good. But I don't blame you for that. I can say you've done a nice job of resenting facts and one hit wonders. I subscribed. You need that. Got to check out other videos you've made. Happy 4th of july.
How about Season n the sun and Fool if yon think it's over
I must admit that I never heard the song Ariel.
It appeared, rose up the charts, and disappeared. Only to be cherished in our memories.
Something in the air. Kind of different. Heard it in 70 may have come out earlier. Thubderclap newman. Mun apollona blanca ajor harris love wont let me wait. Benny bell shaving cream. The flip side was funnier.
Brotherhood Of Man,Andy Kim,Edison Lighthouse,Player were not one hit wonders
Coven had a couple of albums. Coven of witches.
Wow, the americans had a dull taste in music, also in the seventies!
Wouldn't it be great if you could hear a bit more of the songs and a bit less of the narrator.
Edison lighthouse was not a real band 😂😂😂😂. It was fake 😂😂🎉
