#Interestingly For years after the lawsuit, Bruce Springsteen & Mike Appel barely spoke. Appel had discovered him, believed in him, and helped get him signed. But the fallout over control left deep scars… Still, time has a way of softening things. #MikeAppel #ClarenceClemons #OneHitWondered
#OneHitHistory Mike Appel? Yep, he’s a US #OneHitWonder honoree. In 1968, as a member of the psychedelic rock group The Balloon Farm, he earned US #OneHitWonder honors when “A Question Of Temperature” spent 4 weeks on the US #Top40, peaking at #37. #MikeAppel #TheBalloonFarm #OneHitWondered
