Facts 5

Strange we have already reached episode 5 in season 1. I repeat that I love to hear something strange from other people. I know, you can loose a lot of time, and I know it takes a lot of time, but I am not longer working, so I do have time. I don't want for you "dear chordians" that you spend an hour sitting in front of your PC, to answer or to post a list. But I should be glad if you mention even 1 fact, or if you agree or disagree with the facts. I am just like you, maybe a little bit crazier, but I should love questions, and almost everything I post, can be checked on your internet, just put the name in a search engine. The only unpleasant thing of those searches are the way you put your words, I've seen it already a lot of times, you search for something, let's say concerning voting, you don't find results, but if you change your phrase, you will get a lot of sites. So here's today's list.
ONE HIT WONDERS:
BANDS WHO HAD 1 BIG HIT and maybe a few non-hits.
- Groove Is In The Heart      Dee Lite (1990)
- 96 years            "?" and the mysterians.  "?" seems to use this symbol in stead of his own name, which was MARK, I think.
- Black Betty          Ram Jam. It is a copy of an old afro-american work song. LEADBELLY used this song, I have it in a big box: 100 years music from sony, and he is just singing and tapping with his feet to accompany him. More, it is possible that the song was already song on the fields in the 18th century. ( for that I have to dig deeper in history).
- Don't Fear The reaper     Blue Oyster Cult
- Spirit in the Sky  (1969)        Norman Greenbaum. I loved that song a lot, and I couldn't find other songs of Norman Greenbaum ( don't confuse the man with Peter Greenbaum, better known as Peter GREEN, the man who wrote black magic women, albatross, man of the world, yes the most important musician in the band he started with Mick Fleetwood= FLEETWOOD MAC, in the sixties. He left Fleetwood, had psychiatric problems, and started to give almost all his money to others) so I looked at Amazon.com and yes, a CD from that man. I was really surprised to hear that spirit in the sky was almost the only "electric" song on that album, it was more "folk"
- In the year 2525    Zager and Evans.
I have a few other names, I never heard about them, so I just give an example like the song Turning Japanese  The Vapors are a British New Wave Band active from 1979-1981 ( Are there fellow members who know this group, and song(s).
Also a song called Mickey by a certain Toni Basil in 1982
In the same category we can put maybe THE ZOMBIES, who splitted before their first album was on the market, containing a lot of great songs, like "she's not there"
Please I appreciate every kind of help, as long as you don't loose time on the subjects. I have plenty of time, but I am convinced that there are a lot more facts than I think, or post.
