Ep. 60: One-Hit Wonders of the 70s
<p data-start="118" data-end="377">The 1970s gave us some of the most memorable songs ever recorded and some artists who, for one reason or another, only broke through once. In this episode, we take a closer look at those so-called "one-hit wonders" and the stories behind the songs that stuck.</p> <p data-start="379" data-end="673">From the laid-back groove of "<span class="whitespace-normal">How Long"</span> by <span class= "whitespace-normal">Ace</span>, to the quiet melancholy of "<span class="whitespace-normal">Good Time Charlie's Got the Blues"</span> by <span class="whitespace-normal">Danny O'Keefe</span>, we explore what made these tracks connect and why they lasted. We'll get into the funk-rock crossover of "<span class="whitespace-normal">Play That Funky Music"</span> by <span class="whitespace-normal">Wild Cherry</span>, the sunny pop of "<span class="whitespace-normal">Sweet City Woman"</span> by <span class="whitespace-normal">The Stampeders</span>, the tight pop classic "<span class="whitespace-normal">Cruel to Be Kind"</span> by <span class="whitespace-normal">Nick Lowe</span><strong data-start="982" data-end="1023"><span class= "whitespace-normal">,</span></strong> <span class= "whitespace-normal">and the disco smash "Ring My Bell" by Anita Ward. And how do you make a hit song about a brief encounter in a Chevy van, anyway? Was it luck? Timing? Skill? A little of all of that? Tune in for a discussion on these classic hits of the 1970s.</span></p> <p data-start="1292" data-end="1423"> </p>
