Obscure, And Some Not So Obscure, 80's One Hit Wonders 1986-1990, Part 1 (Finished February 10, 2017)

Hello,

More one hit wonders from the 80's era. 1986 and 1987 seemed to be full of one hit wonders, all the following songs were released in those two years.

A great and very enjoyable song, but honestly who came up with this? Baltimora "Tarzan Boy":



I have forgotten how incredibly great this song is. Sly Fox "Let's Go All The Way":


Force MDs "Tender Love":


Boys Don't Cry "I Wanna Be A Cowboy":


Another one of my all-time favorite one hit wonders. This song was featured in the Michael Keaton 80's movie "Gung Ho". The Fabulous Thunderbirds "Tuff Enuff":


Robert Tepper "No Easy Way Out":


Timex Social Club "Rumors":



Double "The Captain of Her Heart":



Oran "Juice" Jones "The Rain":



Gloria Loring and Carl Anderson "Friends and Lovers":



Gavin Christopher "One Step Closer To You":


What a great song! I wonder whatever happened to Mr. Abbott? I investigated what happened with him, Abbot is still recording. He just hasn't found the magic yet that made "Shake Me Down" so irresistible. His debut CD, also titled "Shake You Down" is decent. It has a few good songs on it. Gregory Abbott "Shake You Down":



Georgia Satellites "Keep Your Hands To Yourself":



Cray is an amazing musician and has many songs that are much better than this song. Check out Mr. Cray, you won't be disappointed. Robert Cray "Smoking Gun":



Another great Cray song "Right Next Door (Because of Me):



Breakfast Club "Right On Track":



They are named after a "Star Trek" character. T'Pau "Heart and Soul":



Danny Wilson "Mary's Prayer":



Benjamin Orr sang and played bass with the Cars. He sung on such Cars' classics such as "Drive" and "Just What I Needed". Sadly he died at the age of 53 on October 3rd, 2000. Orr's "Stay The Night":



World Party "Ship of Fools":
