Crockett's Theme - Jan Hammer

(Though he's known in the jazz/ fusion world as a piano player, I think this was his only mainstream chart hit though)

"Love grows. Edisom Lighthouse "

Interesting fact alert.

Love Grows

My Baby Loves Lovin by White Plains

Gimme Dat Ding by The Pipkins

Beach Baby by The First Class

We’re all one hit wonders with one thing in common…. The lead vocalist on all the tracks was Tony Burrows, I think two of the tracks were even on the chart at the same time, busy feller was Tony.

Rick astley does a really good as the front man of a smith’s cover group….

He may have “won” Glastonbury last year with the multiple sets he did! "

The ‘cover band’ are an act of their own called Blossoms who do quite well with their own stuff

Apparently they have the narrowest margin between a No.1 & No. 2 single.

On the week "The Joker" by Steve Miller pipped "Groove...." to No. 1, it was calculated that Steve Miller sold a mere EIGHT copies more.

"Radar Love. Golden Earing"

Always an intriguing choice as it was their only bona fide hit in the UK.

However, their song Twilight Zone actually went all the way to Number 1 in the USA (and other places I believe) and they had other hits too across the decades in many territories.
