Re: Favorite One Hit Wonders

There are few greater buzzes than suddenly hearing something you literally have not heard in many decades and instantly knowing the title and the artist. I had just such an encounter when I walked into the tobacconist about an hour ago and heard this teenage blast from the distant past -

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CsrQ0h85 … re=related - for the song

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PJWjmDa7 … re=related - for how she looked then

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PJWjmDa7 … re=related - for how she looked recently

I had an instant ear to ear stupid grin on my face and felt the necessity of explaining why to the lady (of my age) behind the counter, who was gobsmacked that I could name title and singer. big_smile

In-a-Gadda-Da-Vida by Iron Butterfly. As the story goes, the singer was so smashed on wine in the studio that In The Garden Of Eden came out In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida.

Magnet & Steel by Walter Egan. Produced by Lindsay Buckingham. Walter was in a later line up of Spirit obviously after Jay Ferguson went solo, see above, Thunder Island.
