taxi ray 170 Posted May 12, 2012 Report Share Posted May 12, 2012 I also thought Jonathon King, as he had a few songs under different names. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Beefsteak 305 Posted May 12, 2012 Report Share Posted May 12, 2012 Tony Burrows was on Top of the Pops three times in one show ! Whiteplains with My Baby Loves Love, Edison Lighthouse with Love grows where my Rosemary goes, and The Brotherhood of Man with United we stand! I was only reading about him a couple of weeks ago after listening to First Class with Beach Baby and decided to look up their history, shame I missed this thread ! He was also on The Pipkins, Gimme Dat Ding A link here to his Wiki page , and if you follow some of the links on there you'll find some facinating stuff too. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tony_Burrows Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Beefsteak 305 Posted May 12, 2012 Report Share Posted May 12, 2012 I'll throw a question back if I may. Who has/have the distinction of being one hit wonders twice under the same name ? (Both records made number one in the charts too) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Beefsteak 305 Posted May 13, 2012 Report Share Posted May 13, 2012 Bump Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Fynger 841 Posted May 13, 2012 Report Share Posted May 13, 2012 bump ??...never heard of him. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cliff Ton 10,454 Posted May 13, 2012 Report Share Posted May 13, 2012 Who has/have the distinction of being one hit wonders twice under the same name ? (Both records made number one in the charts too) I thought about this but came to the conclusion I didn't understand the question... How can somebody be a one hit wonder twice? The only thing I can think of is that we are talking about a record which was released twice Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Beefsteak 305 Posted May 13, 2012 Report Share Posted May 13, 2012 Nope . One group of singers, under the same name, at number one, with two different songs. Clue , they were the backing singers on one of them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
littlebro 234 Posted May 13, 2012 Report Share Posted May 13, 2012 St Winifred's school choir Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Beefsteak 305 Posted May 13, 2012 Report Share Posted May 13, 2012 Give that man a round of applause They were the named backing singers on the "Brian and Micheal" number 1 "Matchstick Men and Matchstick Cats and Dogs" along with their own 'solo' effort, "No One Quite Like Grandma" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St_Winifred%27s_School_Choir Quote Link to post Share on other sites
