Andy Kim had several hits. He wasn’t a one hit wonder. Baby I Love You. There was more.

I think Andy Kim was the lead vocal on the Aechies Sugar Sugar

@@wiliamhong273 The lead singer of the Archies was Ron Dante. Andy Kim and Jeff Barry wrote the song Sugar, Sugar. The song was originally for The Monkees but they turned it down.

True! However, he was a Neil Diamond wanna be which was his down fall.

As I understand it he was primarily a song writer, which can be just as good, if not better.

@bobdavis4848 A true One Hit Wonder can't be any of the following:ll, either: 1. The artist had hits in other genres than Top 40, the Pop Charts. Like Rock, many songs weren't released on physical singles but had heavy rotation on Rock stations. 2. The artist had other hits in other countries. For example, some consider Rock Me Amadeus by Falco an OHW. It's not, Falco was huge in Germany and Europe.

@bobdavis4848 Күн бұрын

@@raydunn8262 I fully agree with all that. But you’ll find a lot of disagreement on youtube. People who host channels, including AI bot type hosts, love using the “one hit wonder” term as part of their clickbait attempts. Even just in the US, Falco was not a one hit wonder, as “Vienna Calling” reached #18. I’ve had many jobs in radio and music retail, I have music all over the house, almost all genres. Many also call songs “one hit wonders,” which makes no sense. Artists might be “one hit wonders.” Songs don’t write songs, artists do.

The reality is most songs we hear on the radio are one hit wonders, and most bands are lucky just to get at least one song on the air.

One of my favourite one hit wonders was by a British group called The Real Thing who had a big hit in 1976 with You To Me Are Everything.

And the band shown in the video wasn't even them but guys from an agency hired to appear in the video because the label thought the actual guys including tony burrows, were too ugly.
