We listen to "oldies" a lot when we take a road trip. It's amazing how 40-50 years ago there were so many "one hit wonders" and so few manufactured mega stars. Song after song. Sure, there were the Beatles and The Who and Three Dog Night. But there were many "singles" out there from bands or individuals that just wrote a good song or two that got played and took off. Dancing in the Moonlight was King Harvest's only hit song, for example. Looking Glass's "Brandy" was their only really big hit. Gilbert O Sullivan had "Alone Again" and "Clair" and "Get Down" but that was pretty much it. ("You're a Bad Dog Baby" LOL) So many artists that were just artists. There really is no such thing anymore that I can think of.
