"Pipes Of Peace" isn't one of McCartney's best songs, but it's a billion times better than "Wonderful Christmastime". Quote Link to post Share on other sites

hardwood floor Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 Gilbert O Sullivan - Alone again, Naturally actually, O'Sullivan had two other top-10 hits in the U.S. - Claire reached No. 2 and Get Down hit No. 7. he had a ton of hits in the UK The Looking Glass - Brandi (you're a fine girl, what a good wife you will be...) Rutgers-educated and New Jersey-born Elliott Lurie went from one of the finest 45s ever - Brandy - to one of the worst, the follow-up Jimmy Loves MaryAnn. The follow-up did get a lot of airplay and spent a few weeks in the top-40, peaking at No. 33. nonetheless, i would consider Looking Glass a one-hit wonder did Hanson have more than mmmMbop? two others in the US top 20 (including No. 9 I Will Come to You), numerous worldwide Quote Link to post Share on other sites
