#Interestingly What about Eric Bazilian…? He wrote and recorded a quick demo to impress a woman (who’d become his wife.) Producer Rick Chertoff, who’d worked with both Bazilian & Joan Osborne… well, Osborne earned US #OneHitWonder honors with it in 1995. #EricBazilian #OneHitWondered #MusicSky
#OneHitHistory Happy birthday to UK singer/songwriter Billie Myers, #BOTD in 1971. Billie earned US #OneHitWonder status in 1998 when “Kiss The Rain” spent 18 weeks on the US #Billboard #Top40, peaking at No. 15. #BillieMyers #DesmondChild #EricBazilian #OneHitWondered #MusicSky
