Lisa Stansfield is NOT a one-hit wonder! :shock: brick lol

You must've forgotten "All Around the World", "You Can't Deny It", "This is the Right Time" and "Change". lol

And so is Taylor Dayne. lol "I'll Always Love You", "Love Will Lead You Back", etc. lol

Anyway, here's one of my favorite "one-hit wonder" joints:

A stupid man’s report of what a clever man says can never be accurate, because he unconciously translates what he hears into something he can understand.

confused "Just Want to Hold You" didn't even reach the top 20. It's her third-biggest hit after "Try Me" (#14) and "Another Like My Lover" (#9).

nod "All Around the World," "You Can't Deny It," and "All Woman" all topped the R&B chart. "All Around the World" is easily her biggest pop hit in both the US and UK.

This and that version of "It takes two",(to make a thing go right), by the Cover Girls are two records that are totally different from their originals. You might argue that "The Cover Girls" song is totally different from the Rob Base song...But, their song has parts if his song.

Lisa Stansfied and Taylor Dayne are not one-hit wonders lol A one-hit wonder is somebody like Anita Ward,who had one major hit,"Ring My Bell",in 1979.She released a few more singles but they flopped and she faded away.I can name numerous Taylor Dayne hits.

Deon Estes sang it. George Michael wrote it and sang backing vocals.

eek Jasmine had more singles after try me.

I dig another like my lover. It's obviously"I love the way you love me"
part 2. lol
Just want to hold you sound good as well. I guess since i wasn't
impressed with Try Me, i didn't even expect Jasmine to release
anything better.

lol Man, "Another Like My Lover" was a Video Soul staple in early '91. "Just Want to Hold You" was the third single and it received a lot of radio spins in my area. Did you notice James Ingram on backing vocals?

I like "Try Me," BTW (or "Try May" as she calls it).

You guys have some strange ideas about what one hit wonders are....In the US, Taylor Dayne's "Greatest Hits" speaks for itself (well, except toward the end when it got lazy and added remixes).

Now this is a one hit wonder!


As for Exposé and Nu Shooz, two different "Point of No Return"s.




Exposé's had the bigger hit. While many do consider Nu Shooz's one hit wonders, I definately remember their "Point Of No Return" being played after the fact.
