If "One Hit Wonders" are artists with only one hit in the top 40 (which is the accepted definition), I'll say Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, Grateful Dead, Rush, Garth Brooks, and The White Stripes, are my favorites.

They also had a hit with Pretty Lady. They were a Canadian group and got heavy airplay on CKLW because of the Canadian content rules at that time.

That's cool. If you see him ever floating around The Villages tell him I owe him one or two. While posting my story of circa 1990 made me think how trivia is a thing of the past. The winner has become anyone that can operate their cell phone the fastest.
