Mary Hopkin's THOSE WERE THE DAYS from her album POST CARD.. Signed to the Beatle's APPLE LABEL, Ms Hopkin's gorgeous debut album is WAY MORE than just this One Hit Wonder! Produced by Paul McCartney and Geoff Emerick.

Cat Mother and the All Night News Boys “Good Old Rock ‘n’ Roll”

Cool! Always loved the long instrumental "Track in A" By Cat Mother and the All Night News Boys...

 

[Gimme 4]

Just tried to find an obscure one that got some airplay in the '70s, "Good Friends" by El Roacho from the album El Roacho's Biggest Hits (yeah right) but it's nowhere to be found on YouTube.

Alley cat - Bird of prey. Very big in Tasmania but nowhere else from what I can gather

 

[Bob Romano]

Not in Australia and the UK. They also had a chart topping hit January

Magic by Pilot was Produced by Alan Parsons

Edison Lighthouse's Love Grows (Where My Rosemary Goes) is one of my all time faves. The video was actually shot with different people than the studio cats who recorded it. I still love the song to bits.

You're right about the studio cats as they recorded another hit as White Plains - My Baby Loves Lovin'

 

[Obbop]

How about the finest Christmas carol of all time?

 

[Obbop]

The singer died in the deadliest single-plane crash in all history . . .

You old-timers either growing up with the Vietnam war on TV every damn day and night or who actually humped the boonies over yonder may recall this tune hitting the AM radio. FM radio was a rarity back then.

 

[Obbop]

This came out in 1967 with a sound that reminded us of the late 1950s or early 1960s. Catchy tune good for slow dancing allowing you to press up against Suzy-Q Rottencrotches' breasts and nether region if you placed your knee properly.

This song along with ample media coverage had those of us living in the San Francisco Bay Area witnesing hordes of younguns' and not so young swarming into the Bay Area. Many stopped in Berkeley and stayed there with many others headed for the Haight-Ashbury district of San Francisco. Wild and crazy and even groovy times, kids!!!!

 

[Obbop]

One of my favorite "protest" songs with a bit of influence via "The Who."

 

[Bill B]

I have checked out all of the above links (that I didn't already know) and it's amazing how many of these I have never heard. OHW must be very regional in many cases.
Anyway, didn't see this anywhere above Beach Baby by First Class



or this one Shanon by Henry Gross

 

[Bill B]

I wouldn't call Billy Thorpe a OHW, but he did only have one hit (at least here in the US)...

Sugarloaf “Green Eyed Lady”

This is often mentioned as a one-hit wonder, but I love this song by Sugarloaf. No clue as to where it charted, but I had the 45 as a kid. Still have it, in fact.
