How Long - Ace
I’ve probably said this before, but when I first heard How Long, I thought it was early Hall and Oates (similar to Sara Smile).

Till Tuesday - Voices Carry

Til Tuesday had another hit in 1986- What About Love
shareI’d never heard of them (I was no longer living Stateside when they had their hits) and never charted in the UK.

I love that song
shareCame here to find this. One of the best songs of all time.
shareDexys had a few hits in the UK.
shareYeah, surprising Geno wasn't a hit elsewhere.
shareOr Jockey (I mean Jackie) Wilson Said.
shareHaha Yeah, I saw that on Top of the Pops!
shareIt’s part of TOTP folklore. Was it a genuine mistake or was someone taking the piss?
shareHard to say! But it's still funny as hell! https://youtu.be/jC6goaOrEvQ?t=71
shareAnother one I remember was The Quo were playing Marguerita Time (I think) and Rick Parfitt tripped up and sent the drums sprawling, whilst Francis Rossi just stood there, crying with laughter.
shareDoctor and the Medics cover of Spirit in the Sky.
I know they had more singles, especially in the UK, but that's the only one that I remember being a hit here in Canada.

shareIn The Year 2525 (1968) Zager And Evans, #1 for 6 weeks
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=izQB2-Kmiic
I can't say it's a favorite, but it has futuristic lyrics from 52 years ago. There are LOTS of one hit wonders, Captain Capn.
Korgis- Everybody's Got to Learn Sometime 1980. Look it up on YouTube! Great song
shareI LOVE THIS SONG!
shareN.R.G. sampled it to create this early 90’s EDM track that was big at the time. This is actually the only way I knew of the song.
