He may be the most successful two hit wonder, though - Steal Away made it to #2, and then Hot Rod Hearts spent a week or two at #1. His kind of music went away once the 1980s finally turned a corner, getting rid of the Paul Davis, Dupree, and Rupert Holmes types...

August 14 2008 at 5:38 PM Report abuse Permalink rate up rate down ReplyDid anyone else notice that all but one of these two-hit wonders were from the post-rock and roll era? That says a lot about modern music. There is an AM station in St. Louis that plays rock and roll era music (KZQZ 1430). If you are in the St. Louis area and you love rock and roll music, check it out. I think you will enjoy it. I'm a boomer from the rock and roll era, and I thoroughly enjoy hearing it all over again.
