Dee Clark, Ride a wild horse. A cracking song from late 75. Never heard of him again. A couple of others from the same period were Fattie Bum Bum by Carl Malcolm and Like a butterfly by Mac and Katie Kissoon. I remember all three well but Mac and Katie Kissoon also had a single called Sugar Candy Kisses. The duo weren't to my taste at all. Sam.

Two more, good ones, I've just remembered Scott Mackenzie San Francisco, flowers in your hair Mental as Anything Live it up Hi Cartman, It is all relative to location. Mental as Anything might not have charted well in England but they were a very popular band in Australia. They were a popular pub band.
They had a few hits here. I liked them. They were just about fun times, nothing more than that.
This was huge in Aust.
If you leave me can I come too.
Too many times - Love hearing this song again
Reminds me of living back in that era back then - student rental housing, going to parties where you got in because you knew someone who knew someone who knew someone that knew the party person, staying up all night seeing the sunrise after a party, having bbqs where all the house furniture was moved out to the backyard, police arriving to tell us to turn the music down (not drugs, but noise back then!) you turn it down for ten minutes then crank it up again, being at a party where the house, garden and corridor is full of people, talking to strangers in the kitchen at parties, and drinking whatever alcohol is left in the ice bath. Amazing we all survived really!
Go on listen to it.

One hit wonder. Maybe the 1980s was big for One Hit wonders.

Still played alot nowadays but this is all they did i think. Brilliant tune that was voted Most uplifting song of the decade I think. Greg Alexander went on to producing and writing songs after winding up The New Radicals just a year after this track. Gene.

Rush hour by Jane Weidlin, from some time in the late 80s, can't remember the year as I had got a bit sketchy about music at that time, but I thought this was a good one

Jane was in The Go Go's Carty, unlike bandmate Belinda Carlisle didn't seem carve out the same solo career. I think 'Rush Hour' has been covered a few times too by various types of artists.
