She also had "Marlena on the Wall" in the 80s. MTV had it in regular rotation (that was back when they played music). I think it was her first hit. These "one/two hit wonder" things are so misleading, and poorly researched.

As has been said, every song on "Solitude Standing" can be considered a folk-pop classic. She continues to produce albums and play at folk clubs and independent venues. Calling her a "two hit wonder" is as ridiculous as saying that Joni Mitchell became obscure after her one hit with "Big Yellow Taxi."
