Basically, you're talking about acts who had one huge hit that overshadowed any other hit songs -- causing the average person to think that act was truly a "one-hit wonder." Ironically, we had this discussion on the "R&B One-Hit Wonder" thread two months ago.
An example would be Gregory Abbott: 
People think his only hit song was 1986's "Shake You Down," but Abbott had two other top five singles on the Billboard R&B Singles chart -- "I Got the Feelin' (It's Over)" and "I'll Prove It to You." [Edited 9/2/07 8:22am] THE TRAFFIC JAMMERS, The Org's house band: VAINANDY -- lead singer; NAJEE -- bass; THE AUDIENCE -- guitar; PHUNKDADDY -- rhythm guitar; ALEX de PARIS -- keyboards; Da PRETTYMAN -- keyboards; FUNKENSTEIN -- drums. HOLD ON TO YOUR DRAWERS! |
