      Chesney Haaks - (I Am) The One and Only

      This was an amazing hit for the Ches-ter in 1991 I recall, which belonged to a time when Artists/Singers had a one-off that was'nt strictly "one-offs" I have always felt!

        My Dad has that on a Dr Demento CD of novelty songs. He is a DJ who likes to find & play strange songs, often one hit wonders.

              Jane Child - I Don't Want To Fall In Love 1990.

              There were quite a few Americans around this time who seemed to have just one big hit over here, & sometimes at home too.

              My Dad bought a copy 2nd hand late in the 1990s when it would have been very cheap.

                Chesney Hawkes you mean. He appeared at the Pavilion Theatre in Worthing in last year's panto - the place where one of my autograph books was last sent to.

                    The Goodies weren't one-hit wonders, though...

                    (Also, Melanie fans might take umbrage!)

                        Benny Hill had a few minor hits in the early 1960s.

                              Until I got a Guinness Book of Hit Singles in the early 1990s, I originally thought that Ernie was Hill's only hit - it was only when they referred to it as his "final" hit that I found out he had a couple of them in the 1960s - Transistor Radio was one of them.

                              Seems strange to have stars such as Tommy Cooper and even Eamonn Andrews mentioned in the book.
