15 Amazing One Hit Wonders From The 1960's Revisited

[@darwynmead2597]

These were the days I was being raised even though there were one hit wonders. They still stick in my head in my mind have fun.

[@wentonmastermind]

One adaptation of Norman Greenbaum's Spirit in the Sky emerged a few years ago at Old Trafford, Manchester United's ground: "Going on up to the spirit in the sky, That's where you'll find me when I die. And when I've died and they've laid me to rest - I'm going on the booze with Georgie Best." A rather eccentric tribute to the supremely talented player that was George Best...

Angel of the Morning - Merrilee Rush is the best of the list in my opinion.

[@pdm2201]

“Winchester Cathedral” belongs here.

[@nicktaylor2657]

The Riverias California Sun was also in The Doors

[@capcitymediagroup831]

It sure was when Jim was walking on Venice Beach

[@mrfloxin]

I like two more songs on the list Bruce Channel 's Hey Baby and The Outsider's Time Won't Let Me!

[@c.d.macaulay66]

@@mrfloxin Actually, The Outsiders had a second (minor) hit with "She's So Respectable". Sounds just like "Time", but still cool nonetheless. Look it up on KZbin. Bet you've heard it before.

[@mrfloxin]

@@c.d.macaulay66 No I haven't heard that song at all. I guessing the song didn't to well on charts at all!

[@c.d.macaulay66]

@@mrfloxin It did okaaay. Lower echelons of the Top 40 for a short while. But a cool song nonetheless.

[@mrfloxin]

@@c.d.macaulay66 Okay? I let you know about what I think about the song at all!

[@lexdee523]

I was born in 1964 and don't know many of these songs or groups/musical artists. But, as I got older through the years, I've heard some of these songs played on the radio or on television and became very familiar with them. It's always good to be taken back to an era where good music was treasured.

[@c.d.macaulay66]

How can you not include "They're Coming to Take Me Away Again" by Napoleon IV? The only thing quirkier on the '45 was the flip side. Where the song was played BACKWARDS! Y'all missed the boat on that one.

[@dennisbashore7626]

Totally agree……….i still have my 45 (original sleeve) that I got in 1966 for my 14th Birthday Day. 🤙🌴👍

[@aspenrebel]

Yeah great song about a guy going crazy cuz his dog ran away.

[@aspenrebel]

"Do you remember the day you ran away and I got on my knees and beg you not to leave because I'd go berserk? Well you left me anyways, and then the days got worse and worse, and now I've gone completely out of my mind." ....... "I'll call the ASCPA you mangy mutt".

[@PunaSquirrel]

I think it's called 'They're coming to take me away, Ha-Haaa'🤙🏼

[@UKsoldier45]

Good memories!

¬Doors fun fact -Light My Fire was written by Robby Krieger

[@nicktaylor2657]

The bulk of it was If you see the credits it's credited to The Doors

[@loboblanco4426]

@@nicktaylor2657 agreed. Everyone just assumes it was lyrically Morrison though. My opinion of RK is he may be the most underrated musician in rock. I read about when GM wanted to use the song in the Opel commercial. After Jim told them he forbade the song from being used he threatened to go on live TV and beat the car with a sledgehammer to the song... Robby Krieger joked in a much later date, possibly after Morrison's death, said "what if I wanted to make some money? It was my song after all..." saying it like a kid who was told by his parents he couldn' t run a lemonade stand. Absolutely priceless.

Iron Butterfly was not a one hit wonder band.

[@gogoyubari366]

Good artists and songs!

[@valeriesoper3873]

Dave, Dee, Dozey, Beakey, Mitch, and Tich. 1968. Legend of Xanadu. My desert island fave. Why are they ignored?

[@torbenklein9645]

That decade was a Golden Age of music.I thought In a Gadda Da Vida was Elvis Presley the first time I heard it.

[@glennso47]

Herb Alpert had a hit in 1968 “This Guy’s In Love With You.”

[@brownro214]

Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass were definitely not a one hit wonder.

Weak presentation

[@zanti4132]

IMO, the record sleeves for the various singles were interesting to see. Does he own all the singles? If not, finding pictures of all the sleeves, either online or in someone else's collection, must have taken awhile. I'd agree that the static added to give an "old timey" look is a bit distracting. The video didn't need that.
