20 to 1 :One Hit Wonders

[mark73]

Didn't Kenny Loggins have a 2nd hit here ?
I'm sure Danger Zone from the Top Gun movie was popular here.

Is actually a bit off here Lidge.Loggins is hardly a one hit wonder.Apart from Footloose and Danger Zone,he had a hit in 1979 with a song called 'I'm Alright' which was also used in the Caddyshack film,and prior to that was part of a group called the Sanford & Townshend band who had a hit in 1976 with 'Smoke Froma A Distant Fire',and prior to that a hit in 1972 with 'Your Momma Don't Dance' with Jim Messina from Buffalo Springfield known as 'Loggins & Messina.

Nowadays gives songwriting master classes at various music colleges' in and around Los Angeles most noticeably the Musicians Institute in North Hollywood.But hardly a one hit wonder...

Allannah Myles also had "Love Is" which did pretty well

[Andrew Mc]

Also had "I'm On my Way" which appeared on Shrek when Shrek and Donkey were going to rescue Princess Fiona.

Not to mention they were both songs from the late 80's (88 or 89 from memory). "I'm On my Way" was a hit at that time too (before it was in Shrek).
