Well, since you're asking, the list is way wrong. How can The Knack be a one hit wonder when their follow up ("Good Girls Don't") peaked at #11??? And, their second album also had a top 40 hit with "Baby Talks Dirty". They are, at worst, a 3 hit wonder. Redbone had two top 40 hits. You need to clarify what you consider a hit then.

@@gustaaf1892 The assumption is that this list is based on the US Billboard Hot 100 where Mungo Jerry had only one hit. Yes, Mungo Jerry may have had other charting hits in the U.K. and Germany, but those charts are not what this list is based on.

The Night The Lights Went Out In Georgia was written by Bobby Russell, who was married to Vicki Lawrence at the time. He originally wrote it with Cher in mind.

Cher said she didn't know until years later that Sonny had turned it down.
