We love you all. Several “One Hit Wonders” had very successful songs throughout the ’60s. Hey, how can you not shed a tear every time you hear “Who put the Bomp on the Bomp, Bomp, Bomp, Bomp, Bomp?” Maybe even two or three tears, huh?

Well, as the Baby Boomer King of Music, I have my own very worthwhile Top Ten List of One Hit Wonders. Do you remember these?

10. “In the Year 2525” (1969) by Zager and Evans: These two University of Nebraska students hit No. 1 in the summer of 1969 and stayed there for six weeks. Over time, this single sold more than 10 million copies. The two remain friends to this day. Denny Zager still lives in Lincoln where he builds custom guitars.

9. “Do You Love Me” (1962) by The Contours: Four young men from Detroit started in 1959 and failed to chart with their first two releases. But they had a big hit in 1962 when “Do You love Me” hit number 2. The group played for several more years, but never achieved star status as members came and went like a revolving door.

8. Cascades’ “Rhythm of the Rain” (1963): All four members of the band served on the USS Ticonderoga while in the Navy. After leaving the Navy, the four of them formed a group and began creating songs with an emphasis on vocal harmony. Two releases didn’t do anything, but then came “Rhythm of the Rain,” which climbed to No. 3 in early 1963. * (Be sure to check out the Cascades do an updated version of “Rhythm of the Rain” from a few years ago. It sounds better than the original.)

7. Barry Mann’s “Who Put the Bomp” (1961): Barry’s song peaked at #7 and stayed on the charts for twelve weeks.

6. “Everyone’s Gone to the Moon” (1965) by Jonathan King – He was a singer-songwriter and student at Cambridge University in 1965 when he released his smash hit. It was a worldwide hit that sold more than 4 million copies. King is still in the music business after writing various songs for other artists over the years.

There were many others who did well during the ’60s. One Hit Wonders carved their share of music history, often climbing to #1 on the Billboard charts.

Steam’s “Na Na Na Na, Hey Hey Hey” was #1 as was the Tornadoes’ “Telstar”. There are several great songs that I wanted to add to this Top Ten, but that would have made the list a Top Twenty.

So, here are the five one-hit wonders of the ’60s.

5. “Liar Liar” (1965) by The Castaways: This rock group originated from the Minneapolis-St Paul area and released “Liar Liar” in 1965. The song peaked at number 12 and was eventually featured in the movie “Good Morning Viet Nam”. “The group is still playing with one of the original members.

4. “In-a-Godda-Da-Vita” (1968) by Iron Butterfly: This song was recorded on the first take, which is almost hard to believe. The original 17-minute version has a great extended drum solo. The song developed a cult following and sold several million copies.

3. Buffalo Springfield’s “For What Its Worth” (1967): Steven Stills and Neil Young became huge stars with Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young (CSNY), but they were one-hit wonders as part of Buffalo Springfield.

2. Bruce Channel’s “Hey! Baby” (1962): Although it was recorded in 1960, “Hey! Baby” didn’t become a hit until 1962, when it hit #1. Bruce Channel is still in the music business to this day even though he was only successful with one song. “Hey! Baby” has had something of a renaissance as a favorite among college students across the country.

1. I’m tied for first place… “Hippy Hippy Shakes” by Swinging Blue Jeans (featured in the movie “Cocktail”) and Scott McKenzie’s “San Francisco.” Listen to both songs and tell me which one should sit alone on top.

You can find music videos for all the songs on this list just by searching on Google. I suggest you watch each one and let these videos take you back to our time…the 60’s.
