 One Hit Wonders... 

or are they? 

Here are some songs that you maythink  are 
one hit wonders, but they are not! 

&nbsp;

The Song:  
Escape (The Pina Colada Song)  
Rupert Holmes  
1979    &nbsp;  &nbsp;  &nbsp;  &nbsp;    
Why not?&nbsp;  
Holmes had another hit single in 1980 entitled "Him" that&nbsp;  &nbsp;    &nbsp;  
reached #6 on the Billboard charts.  &nbsp;  &nbsp;    &nbsp;  &nbsp;  &nbsp;  &nbsp;    &nbsp;  &nbsp;  &nbsp;  &nbsp;    
The Song:  
On and On  
Stephen Bishop  
1977    &nbsp;  &nbsp;  &nbsp;  &nbsp;    
Why not?&nbsp;  
In '77 Bishop also charted with "Save it for a Rainy Day"  &nbsp;    &nbsp;  
and again in '78 with "Everybody Needs Love".&nbsp; In 1983  &nbsp;    &nbsp;  
he charted with "It Might be You" from "Tootsie".  &nbsp;    &nbsp;  &nbsp;  &nbsp;  &nbsp;    &nbsp;  &nbsp;  &nbsp;  &nbsp;    &nbsp;  &nbsp;  &nbsp;  &nbsp;    
The Song:  
It Never Rains in Southern California  
Albert Hammond  
1972    &nbsp;  &nbsp;  &nbsp;  &nbsp;    
Why not?&nbsp;  
Hammond managed to crack the top 40 a second time&nbsp;  &nbsp;    &nbsp;  
with "I'm a Train in 1974.  &nbsp;  &nbsp;    &nbsp;  &nbsp;  &nbsp;  &nbsp;    &nbsp;  &nbsp;  &nbsp;  &nbsp;    &nbsp;  &nbsp;  &nbsp;  &nbsp;    
The Song:  
If You're Going to San Francisco  
&nbsp;Scott MacKenzie  
1967    &nbsp;  &nbsp;  &nbsp;  &nbsp;    
Why not?&nbsp;  
MacKenzie scored a second hit in 1967 with&nbsp;  &nbsp;    &nbsp;  
Like an Old Time Movie which peaked at # 24.  &nbsp;    &nbsp;  &nbsp;  &nbsp;  &nbsp;    &nbsp;  &nbsp;  &nbsp;  &nbsp;    &nbsp;  &nbsp;  &nbsp;  &nbsp;    
The Song:  
1, 2, 3,  
Len Barry  
1965    &nbsp;  &nbsp;  &nbsp;  &nbsp;    
Why not?&nbsp;  
Barry also charted with "Like a Baby" in 1966.  &nbsp;    &nbsp;  &nbsp;  &nbsp;  &nbsp;    &nbsp;  &nbsp;  &nbsp;  &nbsp;    &nbsp;  &nbsp;  &nbsp;  &nbsp;    
The Song:  
Eve of Destruction  
Barry McGuire  
1965    &nbsp;  &nbsp;  &nbsp;  &nbsp;    
Why not?&nbsp;  
According to Billboard, if you chart as a solo or part of a 
group,  &nbsp;    &nbsp;  
it counts the same.&nbsp; So, McGuire's hit with the New Christy 
Minstrels,    &nbsp;  
"Green Green" in 1963 disqualifies him.  &nbsp;    &nbsp;  &nbsp;  &nbsp;  &nbsp;    &nbsp;  &nbsp;  &nbsp;  &nbsp;    &nbsp;  &nbsp;  &nbsp;  &nbsp;    
The Song:  
Green-Eyed Lady  
Sugarloaf  
1970    &nbsp;  &nbsp;  &nbsp;  &nbsp;    
Why not?&nbsp;  
In 1974 they charted again with "Don't Call Us, We'll Call You." 
(#9)
