Se supone que "One Hit Wonders" son artistas que tuvieron un solo éxito en su vida musical, nada mas... todos los que posteaste son artistas que tuvieron varios temas sonando, no son artistas de un solo éxito, por eso la aclaración.

Toda la razón, mis disculpas

[Don_Cristobal85 1]

Los 90s fueron muy fructiferos en cuanto a One Hit Wonders con sonoridades muy variadas, de mis favoritas por lo atrevida que la encontré en su momento:

Aquí Tony Newman y excelente y olvidado hit:

Me gusta mucho Goodbye Horses de la Q Lazzarus, además tiene una historia entre mito y realidad muy entretenida... se cuenta que por esos años, luego de haber grabado Goodbye Horses hace algún tiempo sin éxito, mientras manejaba como taxista por las calles de Manhattan, solía poner el cassette por si se subía algún alto ejecutivo del mundillo de los medios. Un día se sube Jonathan Demme, el gran director de cine y asombrado con la canción le pregunta de quién es, ella responde que suya y él promete incluirla en alguna película, así es como luego de incluirla en una película de poco reconocimiento público se consagra este temazo en la clásica escena en el Silencio de los inocentes donde el trastornado Ted Levine baila al son de Goodbye Horses. Espero la disfruten!

De hecho como definición, puedo estar equivocado, pero un artista one hit wonder es un artista que tuvo una canción dentro del top 40 del hot 100 de la bilboard

Tienes alguno favorito? pon acá el video o el enlace de spotify, lo ideal es compartir de a un hit a la vez.

La definición segúnn WP:   One-hit wonder, (literalmente en español Maravilla de un éxito, algo así como flor de un día), es un término anglosajón utilizado a propósito de un artista, grupo, etc. cuya popularidad o éxito se debe únicamente a un solo hit o éxito. Puesto que las flores de un día son populares durante un periodo corto, su éxito suele tener gran valor nostálgico, y suelen aparecer en recopilaciones o efemérides de la época en que se produjo.

Acá va el primer favorito, lo tengo en vinilo tb:

 

 

Ojo que F. R. David también tenía Sahara Nights....

Ohhh.... la raja este temazo...

Cuantas pérfidas pusieron los ojitos blancos cuando las apretaba mientras les susurraba al oído "I'd take you into the night"...

Me tema favorito, Muchachita, La Peineta:
 

 

Mozart es un poroto al lado "desto"

[pacifyer 100.000]

Y ahora tengo un par de One Hit Wonders que por ahí nunca lo pensaron, ah?

Canon en Re mayor, Johann Pachelbel:

 

Carl Orff: CARMINA BURANA
 

 

Paul Dukas' Sorcerer's Apprentice: (a que la cachan por la escena de Fantasia de Disney?)

 

Barber: Adagio for Strings

 

Y se podría agregar "Los Planetas" de Gustav Holst. 

 

Todos autores recontraconocidos, música súper conocida, pero apuesto a que les resulta difícil mencionar OTRA música de ellos... 

¿Serán también estas "One Hit Wonders"?
