Sorry claret cliff but the Tornadoes had top twenty hits with Globetrotter and Robot, but they were the first ever UK group to have a number one in the USA with Telstar.

Re: Music's One Hit Wonders...
Sonny and Cher had a couple of top twenty hits after their big number one: I remember "Little Man" and I think one called something like "Look at me". But they did fade away quickly until Cher came back as a a superstar single artist. I do love her voice.

Re: Music's One Hit Wonders...
When I read the title Thunderclap Newman was the first one that sprung to mind. Have to disagree with Procul Harum though, two chart songs of the top of my head were Homburg and Conquistador so not one hit wonders even though the other two weren't massive hits.
