Never had to play it, luckily! Mr Beck is, as we know, a stellar guitarist with a distinguished career. But to maybe 95% of people he's a one hit wonder.

essexbasscat Posted March 13, 2016 Share Posted March 13, 2016 Lucky number - Lena Lovitch. Not my favourite, but love the quirkiness of it. Some great suggestions on this thread Python Lee Jackson - wasn't that Rod Stewart in an earlier guise ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Delberthot Posted March 13, 2016 Share Posted March 13, 2016 Unfortunately the Proclaimers aren't one hit wonders.
