Aaaaaah, but Katrina and the Waves went on to win Eurovision with "Love shine a light" so they had a comeback!

My favourite one hit wonder of all time was Owen Paul's "Favourite Waste of Time"

Classic classic song!

Katrina & the Waves had a hit in 1986 called "Sun Street"

Now that's a cool song - just added it to my big compilation playlist on the iPod!

But for slightly more obscure (and more recent - late 70s-early-80s) one hit wonders I'll go for:

World of Water: New Musik
Lean On Me: Red Box
and
Lines: The Planets

If you can remember any of those - well done!

Red Box had a follow up hit to Lean on Me called "For Amercica" in 1986

How about:

Musical Youth "Pass the Dutchie"
Soft Cell "Tainted Love"
Vanilla Ice "Ice Ice Baby"
Nena "99 Red Balloons" / "99 Luftballoons"

and of course Chesney Hawkes and the aptly named "One and Only"!

Soft Cell had several hits, namely, Bedsitter, Say Hello Wave Goodbye & Torch with a no 1 album in Non Stop Erotic Caberet in 1981.

Musical Youth had 2 follow up hits to Pass The Dutchie and although a hit in the 90's Vanilla Ice had a follow up hit called Play That Funky Music. Chessny Hawkes hit was in 1991

Minnie Ripperton Died unfortunately.

I was in a band that 'suported' Chesney Hawkes band Ebb in about 99-2000. It was only a scruffy old pub gig, but dear old chesney still thought he was the one and only!

Help!

Can anyone help?? Back in...I think the mid 80's (84-85-86ish) there was a 'summer' hit called 'call me'. the chorus was 'call me, call me, baby baby call me now.....' I was in ibiza at the time and it was played constantly. Can anyone remember it and who sang it??? Think it was some woman with really blonde spiky hair???
