Their second hit wasn't as big, but it did crack the top 40 -- "Jimmy Loves Mary-Anne""Don't Call Us, We'll Call You" was released as Sugarloaf/Jerry Corbetta & peaked at #9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marvin Posted November 4, 2007 Share Posted November 4, 2007 Although he hit the US Top 40 only once ("Seasons"), Terry actually had many hits in Canada - with and without the Poppy Family. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Posted November 4, 2007 Share Posted November 4, 2007 Although he hit the US Top 40 only once ("Seasons"), Terry actually had many hits in Canada - with and without the Poppy Family. Yeah, but that's Canada - I thought the thread was about one hit wonders in REAL places (Sorry, bad American habit to poke at Canadians I guess now your money is worth MORE than the US$, you deserve respect ... ) PS - The Poppy Family were great! (Now, I listening to them..) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny S. Posted November 4, 2007 Share Posted November 4, 2007 Tim From Wisconsin would know the answer to this? Did (or was) The Looking Glass become "Starz"?I Thought Sugarloaf had another hit.....THATS RIGHT!Could have been a Lady was April Wine..hey the Time Change messed me up.....

hollies65 Posted November 4, 2007 Share Posted November 4, 2007 In Cleveland 'Pipe Dream' by the Blues Magoos was a hit.'Timothy' was written and produced by Rupert Holmes and did the same with 'Jennifer Tompkins' by the Street People only he sang that one. He also had a little hit with 'The Pina Colada song''Beach Baby' and 'Love Grows' were both sang by the same guy ...Tony Burrows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marvin Posted November 4, 2007 Share Posted November 4, 2007 Interesting footnote about Marmalade: Our band does a song by them called "Radancer." Now I didn't know that they did anything but "Reflections" and I think "Ob La Di", but one of our band members who is from England, swears by them, and introduced us to "Radancer."Check it out here: http://youtube.com/watch?v=COhdUVDkbSM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JuliaAllByMyself Posted November 4, 2007 Share Posted November 4, 2007 It seems weird Marmalade coming up because they had a few hits here in the UK. They’re a great band to see live and really nice guys as well. ‘Reflections’ is one of my fave records. I would have to nominate ‘Shannon’ by Henry Gross. It’s a desperately sad song, but the video has such an ‘ahhh’ factor, especially if you’re a dog lover. http://youtube.com/watch?v=VESx0tpTL5I Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
