Nick Beggs it was. And he still is - he went on to form Ellis Beggs and Howard . He's also a bit of a whiz on the Chapman Stick

Lives in Leighton Buzzard, and i know that because a friend of mine lives there and sees him a round on occasions

This was a great track from E,B & H

So, fleabag, which of those is your favourite? :-D

And do you know what "one hit wonder" means?

Musical Youth - no
Desmond Dekker - no
Kajagoogoo - no
Stealer's Wheel - two other top 40 singles so it depends whether "hit" is top 40 or top 20

I think fleabag was given a big opportunity. :)

Which one-hit wonders that you love? You are welcome to interpret 'one-hit wonder' quite liberally:
[list]
[*]A literal one-hit wonder such as Carl Douglas's Kung-Fu Fighting
[*]A supernova type going from obscurity to heights of fame with a few hits and back to obscurity very quickly. Think Billie Piper.
[*]A performer or band who were around for decades but are only really known for a song or two. Think The Proclaimers.

Matthews Southern Comfort - Woodstock
Was Love - Alone Again Or , a hit? I think it was their only real success, but not sure if it could be classed as a hit

Thinking about it a bit more, I quite like Zager And Evans 2525 and my secret favourite is probably 5th Dimension, Aqurius/let the sun shine in. I find it a bit cheesy, but I seem to like it

Thanks to this thread I've downloaded 'Safety Dance' and am enjoying playing along with it immensely.

Just had another thought, not checked the other 11 pages, but anyone remember this?
