Poptopian cult member Posted November 5, 2007 Share Posted November 5, 2007 "Magic" really has some great guitar work in it, doesn't it?! I love that song. Absolutely. Apparently it was one of Alan Parsons forst "projects". I need to go back and re-evaluate that album. I remember only liking the single, but this was a while ago and my tastes have changed since then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheScentLady Posted November 5, 2007 Share Posted November 5, 2007 II 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 The follow up to "Shannon" wasn't a big a hit, but "Springtime Mama" (GREAT tune!) did crack the top 40, peaking at #37.

JuliaAllByMyself Posted November 6, 2007 Share Posted November 6, 2007 Marmalade may have had a few hits in the U.K. Aren't they from Wales? Hi, Gman. I’m sure Marmalade are a Scottish band. Wales can lay claim to Bonnie Tyler, Tom Jones and Shirley Bassey. I bet not many people realise that the brilliant Roald Dahl was born in Wales, too. For a One Hit Wonder, how about Anita Ward ‘Ring My Bell’. Reminds me of my disco days! In fact Stevie and I danced in our kitchen to it fairly recently.
