One-Hit Wonders You Didn't Know Passed Away

- Making it big in the music industry isn’t an easy task. For every musician lucky enough to find lasting success, there are thousands out there who never even come close. Then there are those who are able to record a single hit, only to fade away into obscurity shortly thereafter.
In the ever-changing music business, being a one-hit wonder is one of the worst fates imaginable. For many of these musicians, their careers could have taken off, if only they had lived long enough to make that followup hit. These are the one-hit wonders you didn't know passed away.

Rest in Peace
*Correction Schlesinger died of complications due to medical malpractice and disinformation
Biz Marie and Minnie Riperton we're definitely NOT one hit wonders!!!! You need to do more research before you post your videos. Highly disrespectful.
BizMarki. Amazing talent
Yes indeed rap lengen 😭😭😭🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Shannon Hoon a 1 hit wonder!!???? Seriously! Haha They only had 2 records but if you liked Blind Melon, you knew they had 5-12 WELL known songs, which got air time everywhere.
As a 32 yr old Sickle Cell Anemia sufferer, that rappers death scared the crap out of me and because of that, I started to eat better along with working out just so I don't become the next Sickle cell victim. We are warrior's!! R.I.P. young king.
Take care of yourself, and may God bless you.
My brother died from complications of sickle cell at age 36. The doctors once told my mother he wouldn't live past 12. Take great care of yourself. Please. 🙏🏽
@@lordfarquar9215 thank you so much I really appreciate the well wishes ❤️ I'm doing my best. You are young so live life to the fullest while you are here on this earth. Life is too short.
@@AKing69 thank you so much I appreciate it and I'm so sorry for the loss of your brother. 😔 I promise to do my best in taking care of myself in the name of your brother and all of the people lost due to this disease ❤️
As a retired RN, BSN, I have seen firsthand the effects of Sickle Cell Anemia. I've read articles that say bone marrow & stem cell transplants do help combat the disease. I certainly hope that we can, once & for all, rid ourselves of this really nasty disease.
A couple of these folks have had more than 1 hit.
1 hit wonders is given when an artist never puts out another single that had the same, or more success than their number 1.
Doesn’t mean they didn’t have other good songs.
Yeah give or take I guess.
Like Minnie Ripperton.
Exactly, like Falco. He had a hit with Jeanny too. But I guess not in the US, so it didn’t happen.
@@tt8807 patato tomoto (potato tomato) get it????
Falco had had multiple international hits. “Rock Me Amadeus",[1] "Der Kommissar", "Vienna Calling",[1] "Jeanny", "The Sound of Musik", "Coming Home (Jeanny Part II, One Year Later)", and posthumously "Out of the Dark”
Both “Rock Me, Amadeus", "Der Kommissar" are in my Amazon Music playlist.
He had a duet with Brigitte Nielsen too if I'm not mistaken.
Falco was never ever a 1 hitwonder.... he was having 3 world hits on the charts from the Usa to Japan with Der Kommissar, Rock me Amadeus and Vienna calling.... and with Jeanny 1 & 2 he was as well Top 10 in all most of all European countries....
He was referring that he was a one hit number in the US, not in other countries. This whole list it's about being a one hit wonder in the US, as some had more hits in the UK, Canada or other countries. I'm from USA and I remember them being a one hit wonder, but now thanks to the internet I have been hearing some of these supposedly "one hit wonders" music and I just wonder why some of their other songs never made it back here as well.
Love Falco
Still miss Minnie Riperton ….her Loving U still fab ! And such high notes she hit in that song !
RW Hoekstra so do I!! I wish her daughter (Maya Rudolph) had followed in her footsteps!!!
That beautiful song and her incredible voice were a huge part of my early teen years. The radio was always on, and every single time, it was magical. When the news broke that she had passed away, so young, it just broke our hearts. She was truly special.
I hear ya
Besides Loving You, she also had some minor hits as well. Check out Inside My Love and Back Down Memory Lane!
@@meyerj75 she sure did !! I remember loving you' the most!!!
Divinyls were a massively popular band in Australia with many hits.
Yeah but this video is America centric so that's irrelevant
@@chiarosuburekeni9325 make your afrocentric video then
Chrissy was awesome
Yup. I remember them.
They were pretty popular stateside in the early days of M-TV - years before “I touch myself.”
There is a bistro pub dedicated to Falco in Vienna where the pictures and artwork are all about him and his music is honored, called Falco's, of course.
There is? What pub (I live in Vienna)?
@@MrMatthiasSchneider 1Q
thought Falco died of overdose, not of traffic accident ...rip Falco
@@MrMatthiasSchneider Yes, in the 1st district at Schwartzenbergpl. 3. Met up with some friends there last time I visited three years ago.
He died far too young. Rock Me Amadeus never gets old.
Talk Talk had many hits, especially in the UK.
Same with Falco, suprised he didn’t even mention Jeanny by him.
And what a fantastic band they were.
True, Such A Shame was a big hit in Europe.
Their version of “Talk Talk” is amazing.
Even the track "Talk Talk"
Some of these people were more than just one hit wonders. PETE BURNS was extremely popular in the 80's
I wouldn't say extremely popular. Only ever had one top 10 hit... yes they had a few top 40 songs but they fizzeled out quite quickly.
I agree the One hit wonder title is not proper for some of these artist. I'm glad they are being acknowledge.
Pete burns songs were so much better than the music they put out these days. 🦋
@@tearitloosetearitloose4670 2 major hits in the U.S., but DOS were very.popular in Japan & Europe, especially UK.
if you lived in Europe
I still hold Bee Girl and No Rain dear to my soul ~ Grunge & Alterative 90's music was so part of my life at one time
And fair play to Boy George paying for the funeral of Pete Burns .
I didn’t Know this. Wow. Good on Boy George.
The singer of Big Country taking his own life in Hawaii makes it even more tragic, something so dark and sad taking place in a place of unparalleled beauty.....
He was wonderful.
His voice was so incredible I'm so sorry RIP
I love this voice and I love the song as well, the devastating to hear that he took his life ☹️☹️☹️☹️☹️☹️☹️
You should read up on what lead him to the end. So tragic.
Minnie's voice was enchanting, RIP
The diatonic screaming at the end of each chorus put me right off that song. It will have me leaving the boozer quicker than I got in there.
Same! I hate it when they play "Loving You" on the radio!
@@andriealinsangao613 And even so that they don't play Inside My Love and other songs besides Loving You on the radio.
She had more than one hit .
Pete Burns was not a one hit wonder. He was a genius. His sound defined the gay club culture of the 80’s. He was much loved and will always be missed. May he Rest In Peace.
Right? "Brand New Lover" hit #15 on the Hot 100. That definitely qualifies as a "hit," especially if "You Spin Me Round" only got 4 spots higher at #11.
OK 2 hit wonder.
@@robertmiller8242screw it . Having the hottest track isn’t the easiest thing to do even if you do it once that’s still a sick ass accomplishment. Most artist don’t even chart and if they do they don’t crack the top 25
R.I.P to all lost souls😢
Agreed.
I lost my soul. Have you seen it sitting around anywhere?
Maybe not lost...just established...elsewhere...hopefully better than here🤔
True
I LOVE Minnie Ripperton. When I came across her story and found out she was Maya Rudolph's mother, I was obsessed. So sad she was taken by Cancer at a young age. She worked so hard. R.I.P 💜🙏🏾
How was she connected to Maya Rudolph?
@@lotstodo She is Maya's mother.
* Ripperton
@@troll9682 Typo 😁
Growing up here in Baltimore Maryland I was lucky enough to have seen Biz around here and there over the years! A wonderful Human Being! Also, when my nieces and nephews were younger we took them to the Yo Gabba Gabba Show in Baltimore and Biz did a small set for the parents! It was so incredible and fun! I will never forget it!❤️
I'm really sad to hear about Biz, my daughter rapped with him on stage at a yo gabba gabba concert years ago when she was little.
@C M That was Isaac Hayes. I only watched the very first 6 episodes of South Park when it first came out in 1997 without watching any further (it got too much for me) so I'm not 100 percent sure if Biz Markie appeared in the cartoon or not. I know Isaac Hayes did.
my son loves yo gabba gabba and Biz's beat of the day!
This video made me sad. I didn’t know so many music artists passed away.
Biz was not a 1 wonder
I'm 51 years old and I know all of these bands this video hit me in the feels hard
Most of them were really young, and that truly breaks my heart. May they all Rest In Peace ❤️
Talk Talk had three top 40 hits in the UK, aside from "It's My Life." "It's My Life" twice reached #13 on the UK charts. But only once hit #31 on ATF. Not a potent top 40 act. However, Hollis & Co. earned accolades from prog rockers not only for going prog and jazzy, but just as much for turning their backs on synth-pop, which prog-rockers hate. When you're a prog-rocker, the music you hate (which is most of it) is as important as the music you like. Myself, I think Talk Talk's synth-pop and the later prog-rock stuff is all par excellence!
My husband had no clue till a few years ago that "It's My Life" by No Doubt was only a cover. He liked that song so much, till one day we were driving and I told him, you should listen to the original one which is by Talk Talk. He didn't believe me at first then a couple of days later I walked in on him listening and singing the one with Talk Talk and I just told him, "I told you," lol.
"Talk Talk" & " Its My Life"
@@troll9682 Completely agree!
@@ch1ckmom217 Living in another world is an absolute masterpiece
Der Kommissar was a hit in the US too wasnt it? At least it was with me. RIP to all
It may have been the version by _After_ _the_ _Fire,_ though.
Biz Markie also played in Men in Black 2! How could you not mention that?
And didn't he make YO Gabba Gabba?
His song SUCKED!
I had no idea that Talk Talk's Mark Hollis had died.
Odd that you'd claim them to be a one hit wonder, with "It's My Life," but use a clip from "Such a Shame." If you don't know them, listen to those songs and "Living in Another World" and "Life's What You Make It." All awesome songs!
Biz and the beastie boys did a great love version of Elton John's bennie and the jets. Made me sure smile hearing Biz sing from the top of his lungs
I've never heard of that before.. Thanks, going to check it out...
I remember that
It's a bit crushing to find out about Stuart Adamson. I still crank that song and scream it at the top of my 52 year old lungs when I am down and It always picks me up. RIP.
It's really a shame that Big Country hasn't been recognized more... Besides that Look Away and Wonderland are great songs and Stuart Adamson is a great musician. RIP
Minnie Riperton was beautiful!
Milli Vanilli had five singles, three reached number 1. The other two were too 10. Not one-hit wonders.
Pity it wasn't them singing.
They didn't sing they couldn't even speak English.
THEY didn't have the hits; the real singers did.
@@dshe8637 Not long after The Real singers from Milli Vanilli released an Album in 1992. Then in 1993 Rob and Fab released an album and yes they sang this around but sadly it failed to chart and Rob Pilatis would commit suicide in 1998. 😢🤔
@@SuperMarioBrosIII oh no!
Shannon Hoon barely missed being a member of "The 27 Club".
Seen Minnie in 1975 and probably the best voice I've heard!! 2021
I am always struck by the tender ages at which artists have died. I can only imagine what other contributions they would have made if they had the chance to live longer.
RIP- Everyone.
And, Minnie Riperton- I so very much miss you.
HA! What age were Jimi Hendrix or Janis Joplin? 27. That is a “tender age”.
@@Egilhelmson I will be 63 in a few days. Anyone who dies at a younger age than me is a 'tender age'. The 27 Club is a huge club & thinking about its members always makes me sad.
I was surprised how few on this list died from drugs. Sometimes, it seems that every second artist dies from drugs, but most of these (with a couple of exceptions) died from other causes (Many from disease).
Sad about Shannon Hoon. Talented singer. As an outsider I always found comfort in the lyrics of No Rain. Always found that a soothing song
Yeah for sure, but for some reason that song "Vernie" off Soup, does it for me. Unbelievably underestimated band of the 90's, in my opinion they were up there with Nirvana, Jeff Buckley, Radiohead, Pearl Jam & all the rest & best.
@@rad1930 Soup is the most underrated album of the 90s imo. As a band Blind Melon have a ton of great songs. Change, Tones Of Home, Soul One, Galaxie, 2X4, Time... Just to name a few. Shannon is dearly missed.
I cant consider minnie riperton a one hit wonder. she had loving you, inside my love and back down memory lane.
And the Knack were a two-hit wonder as they have forgotten 'Good Girls Don't'
Minnie had ONE HIT.
The Knack had three top 40 hits.
The real artist who sang the Miilli Vanilli songs died just within the past year.
Years ago .
John Davis died in May 2021.
Wow ! Of course he slips through the cracks!
That was a good album even if it was lip synced etc!
@@orlandojohnson5742 They should have had him on stage for the live shows and have Rob & Fab be front men dancers. Honesty up front would have kept them popular for at least another album or two. The first one was so epic with over half of the songs being catchy memorable hits.
Milli Vanilli was not a One-Hit Wonder. I know that story not their fault and the one guy that lip synced does it for real the other guy died couldn't handle it.
Mark Hollis was brilliant and left us half a dozen great albums with his band Talk Talk. He copied no one and his music was totally unique, a blend of rock and jazz. Most, if not all of his work can be found on UA-cam including live performances. Use the search bar at the top of this page. To call him a "One-Hit Wonder" is unfair and totally misleading.
Baffled me as well!! What about "Life's What You Make It"! That was definitely a hit in the UK.
agree,.. Happiness is Easy.. I dont believe in you.. Renee... Living in another world..thats a masterpiece
Exactly green genes, spot on.
daN hartman. ' i can dream about you' 'relight my fire'
'instant replay'
It's my life by Talk Talk holds up well to this day Great production, smooth 80s sound
it holds up in general, but I don't think it holds a high 1 hit wonder status. Another words it never ORIGINALLY had the same 1 hit wonder feel as for example TAKE ON ME by Aha.
@@vinniemascaro6649 A-Ha a "one hit wonder" 🤦♂️ They were huge globally for many years and even broke Queen's world record for attendance at a concert (at same venue in Brazil, was something crazy like 200,000 people).
"Life's what you make it", " It's a shame " Mmmmm - BIG tunes
Mark Hollis was a beautiful genius, I’m still not over it
@@vinniemascaro6649 Must also say that Take on Me only got to number 2 wheras their next single, The Sun Always Shines on TV got to No. 1
Biz Markie...I was Supervisor of security at the Marriott in Springfield Mass. Met Biz Markie when he played at a prom in the 6th floor event room. Great guy not one single incident before or after his show. RIP
Minnie was far more successful than just her hit mentioned here. She truly had the voice of an angel.
Right! When I saw Minnie Ripperton and Biz Markie I thought to myself, whoever made this video was very misinformed. Just because their music didn't chart or cross over, doesn't mean their music wasn't popular
I don’t think they know what a one hit wonder is.
I love Minnie' s song Back down memory lane ❤️
@@janetscott4362 me too! Inside My Love is one of my favorites too.As a matter of fact, I think I'll listen to her now...thanx for reminding me 😊
When mentioning 'voice of an angel' first I had the same feeling/thought about Minnie. So I compared Karen Carpenter's voice/singing to Minnie and my conclusion is the two angels are not in the same league... sorry.
Maya looks just like her mom, so sorry she lost her but I'm sure she would be very proud of her
?? She looks nothing like her.
She does absolutely gorgeous
Once heard Minnie Riperton singing "Loving You" on my car radio. When she hit the high note, all my car windows shattered.
2 funny,,,hehe
In a Big Country is probably my all time favorite song. I've had it on an 8 track, a cassette, on vinyl, on CD, and on an iPod. It's been with me in some form since it was released and I've never grown tired of it.
I've always loved that song too.
Good taste! I personally view Wonderland that way I hope U experienced other songs they did. They are missed.
Chrissie Amphlet was NOT a one-hit wonder. The Divinyls were huge in Australia and had many hits.
Also left some work history out as well. Before the Divinyls. Then most Aussie music lover over 40, know about The Divinyls and Crissie's story. Countdown featured it many many years ago
Bit like saying Bruce Springsteen only had 1 album I thought!
Loved Chrissie Amphlett rest in peace to a beautiful soul loved Dead Or Alive
I know, Americans are clueless
MANY , MANY Hits the Divinyls all around The World
Blind melon was a great group with Shannon. They came to a town called Columbus, Ms to pay tribute to Shannon and to get some money for his daughter. There was no money from the music.
I didn't know that, that just makes it so much more tragic that there was no money from the music, it's really horrible when artists get used & taken advantage of, for literally laying there souls out. It's just sad & unethical behaviour from those ones on top & in charge that are ment to take care, guide and focus that rarest of creativity that only comes around once every few generations.
Dead or Alive’ s Pete Burns wasn’t a one hit wonder.
Not even here in the US, at least not to me, I did enjoy his music even as a kid.
He was beautiful and talented and wonderful and definitely NOT a one hit wonder! Listen to his music!
I want surprises!!!!
@@sludge8506 I like that song, what I really need to do is find myself a brand new lover.
"His mother was German and survived the holocaust"..... I didn't know Germans had it so rough.
The Knack had a second Billboard Top10 hit record with "Good Girls Don't" in 1979.
Also "Baby Talks Dirty" made the top 40 in 1980
"but i do"
All so young. Rest In Peace.
Would have been great of we could hear 10 seconds of each song
My dad used to be good friend with Pete Burns. But he lost touch with him after he stoped partying. Only recently did he found out that he passed away and it actually got to him. Then I told my dad that he wrote an auto biography and both him and myself are kinda afraid but bit curious as to what Pete might have said about my dad since (from what my dad said) "they did crazy shit together".
Did you read it yet?
Honest question.
@@gaggita9922 nope, it is on my kindle but I have not gotten to it yet. I am trying to finish up some of the Witcher books.
I read the book. Pete didn’t really discuss his personal life that much. He only really talked about forming of dead or alive, his relationship with his mother, what he did after spin me round stopped being popular, and his sexuality/relationship with his ex wife and husband. He said he didn’t really drink or party. Said he was never a fan of it and mostly preferred to be at home so he didn’t reveal any of your dads secrets or partying if that’s what you’re concerned about
Of all of these artists, Minnie Riperton was the most precious to me. She had so many beautiful songs that I used to listen to all the time. Her song, The Edge of a Dream, is so heart touching.
So sad to hear about the lead singers of Big Country and Talk Talk. Amazing bands with great vocals & energy.
RIP to all on this list and the great music you shared with your listeners. 🙏🏼💕
My absolute favorite was... *Minnie Riperton* . Something seems unfair about her relatively early departure from this world. 'Lil side story... Years before I attended a high school in Chicago, CVS, I learned that she swung by to pay a surprise visit, to see for herself why our band was considered to be the best in the city for years. It's reported that she was so struck by the high quality of their performance of her music, which included "Loving You", that she was overwhelmed by emotion and cried in front of the young musicians. It was said that she didn't realise the impact she made on the youth in her own hometown. R.i.p., we're *still* Loving You....42 yrs later and still counting. (Source of the story was the now defunct Jet magazine from the Johnson Publishing Co....r.i.p. to John and Eunice Johnson).
I love her she was far from a one hit wonder 😭
@@iidava2220 Yes, indeed.
I love your videos, but I love it even more that when suicide is ever mentioned in the video, you put the number for the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline. Keep it up
It's Suicide Prevention Week. 🙏
@@eileenlester4342 they do it all the time though, but good to know
Agreed. They have put it up a while. That is so important.
Thank you, sadly I did not know that some of the artists passed away.
BIZ MARKIE IS NOT A 1 HIT WONDER, THAT SONG JUST HAPPENS TO BE JUST VERY WELL KNOWN, PUT RESPECT ON HIS NAME!!!
MTV has played more than a dozen of his videos. Besides Just A Friend, he did The Vapors, It's Spring Again, What Comes Around Goes Around, Let Me Turn You On, & Young Girlz Bluez to name a few.
@@meyerj75 thank you for showing respect where this channel failed to do, respect to you.
I feel so bad for Millie Vanilli.... I liked them so much. So many artists lip sync. They did get their careers destroyed ;(
I have always loved Minnie Riperton's voice and songs. Also, when I'm driving and "My Sharona" plays on the radio (sometimes it still does), I crank it and sing and bop with the bass (even at my age!!). Falco loved Mozart and was in awe of him - he wrote the song "Amadeus" in his honor. I love music and believe that many of us would be lost without it in our lives. So thankful for these artists!
That makes two of us that crank up "My Sharona."
THATMINNIE RIPPERTON SONG BREAKS MY SOUL I CANT HEAR IT AND NOT JUST TEAR UP...THE QUALITY OF HER VOICE IS JUST ..BEAUTIFUL
"Loing You" wasn't the only hit she had in her career. She also did "Inside My Love" and "Back Down Memory Lane (a.k.a. Minnie's Epitaph Song)" and that Soul Train did an entire episode devoted to her music after she passed away too soon.
Stuart Adamson whilst in the Skids recorded 'Into the valley' which is a classic song. It's very well known in the UK and 'Big Country' were huge. Stuart Adamson was most definitely not a 'One hit wonder' that we didn't know had passed away.
In a big country classic
While watching this I began feeling sad about the loss of all these singers who had made the songs that filled my youth with music, but then I realized they are now all part of our collective conscience and will never fade away. I only wish I could be so lucky! RIP... and thank you.
When I watched this, I couldn't get past how much undeserved praise they gave the clown who sings "Stacey's Mom". They gave that guy wayyyyy too much credit.
It's so sad to know that we're losing so many genuises from before our time. May they all rest in piece, and be known forever.
Mark Hollis was a genius. I still listen to their music
Biz had the vapors that was a big hit.word up son
Nobody beat the Biz…
The vapors only reached 80 on the billboard charts that's not considered a big hit. That was just another song he released like pickin' boogers and make the music with your mouth.
@@QueenAnitaSoul 🤷🏿♂️ you can call it what you want to but the record sales say something else.
Doug Fieger's brother Geoffrey is a well-known attorney in Michigan, having defended Jack Kevorkian.
Following the Kevorkian trial, Geoffrey ran for governor but was soundly beaten by popular incumbent John Engler
Falco was known in the U.S. for Rock Me Amadeus, Der Kommissar and One Night in Bangkok. Or at least that's my memory from the time. I was never a big enough fan to own an album, but I knew all three of those songs. Maybe I'm an outlier.
The Cutting Crew had another hit called I've Been in Love Before. Awesome song.
I love that song
❤
Any color is good too
I love the song "I just died in your arms tonight", but hated it as well because it was the reason I didn't got on #1 in the charts in the Netherlands with my band at the time! 😋
When I read this comment it even has a feel like , no that doesn't work. 1 hit wonder all the way. Out of 10 people I wouldn't get more than 1 to say they could even name another song other than died in your arms
Loved I've been in love before
The divinyls had many many hits here in Australia.
Americans think that they are the center of the world, remember.
Cutting Crew sounded like band Asia
I remember being so amazed that "My Sharona" won Song of the Year.
Why? It was HUGE.
@WALK IN MY SHADOW Yeah, it’s got a killer long solo in it. I remember getting absolutely sick of the song, then forgetting about. Then I heard it about 10 years later and thought, “Yes, this really was a kickass song! Too bad it was so overplayed.”
I remember blasting it down the highway in my muscle car.
"My Sharona" sounds like a Billy Joel song from Glass Houses.
Didn't The Knack have a second song from its Sharona album?
Time is a valuable thing....watch it fly by as the pendulum swings....
Saying that Dan Hartman "worked with" the Edgar Winter Group is a bit of an understatement. He wrote or co-wrote six of the 10 songs on They Only Come Out At Night, including the hit "Free Ride" (#14 US pop chart-the follow-up to "Frankenstein", also on that album), on which he sang lead. You also forgot his solo hit "Instant Replay" (#29 US pop chart).
Biz Markie was pretty cool
Yup, Dan Hartman shared lead vocals with Edgar Winter in their band, plus "Instant Replay" wasn't his only solo hit; he also had 2 other Top 40 hits besides: "We Are the Young," #25 in autumn 1984, and "Second Nature," #35 in spring 1985.
I remember the day that Biz Markie died. I was scrolling through some posts on Instagram, and saw Will Smith’s post, with the caption “RIP Biz”. I was like, “What?!? No. No, this can’t be true!” I looked his name up, and news stories said that Biz has died. I was shocked. I had known Biz because I grew up watching Yo Gabba Gabba, the show that Biz would appear on. RIP Biz.
I found out through UA-cam I was scrolling on the home screen and it said r.i p biz Markie and I instantly shedded a tear
I loved every single one of these songs. God bless them all 🙏🏾🙏🏾
I love "How Bizarre".:-(RIP,Pauly Fuemana.
Me too
Talk Talk weren't one hit wonder, moreover, their song "Such a shame" is a much bigger hit than "It's my life".
Yep bingo
It should be noted that Falco's original version of "Der Komissar" was out at the same time as After The Fire's cover version.
He also had a big hit with "Jeannie"....!!
That's right. I remember videos for each version of the song.
Big Country was quite popular in the UK and had more than one hit there. Wonderland and Where The Rose is Sown were also on the charts in the US.
HOW BIZARRE IS STILL A BOP!!!!
Falco was NOT an one hit wonder, you mentioned "Kommisar" but what you forgot "Jeanie" and its follow up
don't forget rock me Amadeus.
Dan Hartman also worked with session guitarist Vincent Cusano on Hart man's album and single Instant Replay. Cusamo, who later changed his name to Vinnie Vincent when he joined KISS in '82, can be seen running around behind Hartman in the Instant Replay video.
Dan Hartman is far from a 1 hit wonder. He had 4 Top 40 solo hits...and sang lead on "Free Ride" by Edgar Winter Group.
Also he had GE Smith from Hall and Oates on bass
Dan Hartman lived in Connecticut..He produced Holly Johnson from Frankie Goes To Hollywood. Before dying great guy.
He had a hit with This is it
Pete Burns was a fabulous, beautiful man with a powerful voice. People need to listen to his music and find out how great he was. RIP Pete!
Biz Markie.. really? I just saw him perform about two years ago. Crazy. He was awesome. Great attitude. Great show.
Christie Amphlett is a legend in Australia with hit song after hit song. Touch myself was one of her much later hits.
Dead or Alive had 2 hits. Brand new lover was the other
I was in Austria when Falco died and I remember that time well, very sad.
Minnie Ripperton was also in Rotary Connection singing huge songs. Worth a mention I should think.
News to me, but hey, thank you.
🍁
Big Country and Talk Talk as one-hit wonders!!! Truly outrageous.
Cutting Crew had another hit song "I've Been in Love Before" and it topped No. 9 on the US Billboard Hot 100 in 1987. It was written by the lead singer and the band is still up and running. 😉
Dan Hartman also had a minor hit in 1979 with the song Instant Replay
I have always been a big, big fan of CUTTING CREW, so much talent! 😢😢🙏🏼
Dan Hartman had a great top 40 song, “instant Replay!” In the disco era.
You beat me to it. That was a sweet song
It was awesome. I remember dancing to it a lot back then. And also We Are the Young. That would be a great theme song for the present.
@@Osani65 You have great taste!
@@DiscoCitizens240 and me. Great song, have it on a playlist
I think he was the lead voice on Edgar Winter's "Free Ride"
Blind Melon were so much more than just No Rain. The debut is a great album that went 4 times platinum in America. Songs like Change and Tones Of Home stand the test of time. Their second album Soup is the most underrated album of the 90s imo. Shannon also sang on Don't Cry by Guns N Roses and was in the video for the song.
Maybe an unknown passing to younger millenials and Gen Zers, but his passing in 1995 was VERY big news--I've always known of Shannon's passing, and I think many other Gen Xers and older millenials remember as well.
@@djdavemick It definitely was big news at the time. I had just started high school in September 95 and Shannon's passing was mentioned in our yearbook that year. Also the MuchMusic Intimate & Interactive had just happened also in September. I'll always remember watching it live.
Sadly Shannon passed not too long after that MuchMusic show. He'll always live on through his music.
In my humble opinion, Shannon Hoon was one of the most talented singer/songwriters in the history of Rock music. Blind Melon is my favorite band. Shannon was special, and they were only scratching the surface of what they could have been. They were a talented band full of amazing and talented musicians.
Falco man was a good singer
I'm a huge Big Country fan...was able to see them with Stu back in the 90s...and have seen them 2x since his passing...they are absolutely not 1 hit wonders...Steeltown...Wonderland...are absolutely brilliant
You forgot to mention Patricia Donahue from the new wave 80s band The Waitresses with the top 40 hit "I Know What Boys Like." She died on December 9, 1996 from lung cancer at the age of 40.
That was a great song
"Soup" is the most underrated album of the 90s. Absolutely incredible. If you haven't heard it, please listen to it
I love that album....
You r-right soup is a great album. I love the band Blind Melon. Letters from a porcupine is a great song.
@@davinbryant6192 i like "Mouth Full of Cavities"...weird seeing Shannon with short hair all through those videos/clips...
I haven't, but I will listen to it now. Thanks for the rec!
@@jenniferciaccio2940 Hope you like it! Also the song Soup, which is not on the album Soup, is really good. I highly recommend it
Love this channel 😊!
Der Kommissar. That brings back memories of night-life in Germany, 1982. Thank you Falco. Rest In Peace.
