I keep thinking of one hit wonders, and wonder why they aren't listed on the web site. I'm thinking of one of my favorites... Bluebirds Over The Mountains by Ursel Hickey. I've read in the history of rock and roll that he holds the distinction of the shortest song that hit number 1. But, maybe it was just the top 40. Just for fun (a great bathroom book) I like to flip through Joel Washburn's Pop Memories, 1890-1954. Unfortunately, it ends just when rock and roll and rhythm and blue were getting started.
By the way, Spaw, flipping through the book, I noticed that It's In The Book, recorded by Johnny Standley was number 1 for 2 weeks in 1952. It was the only song he recorded that hit the top 40. You can look it up. It's in the book. Maybe I should look for others...:-)
