"Walk Away Renée" by the band the Left Banke, released as a single in July 1966. It spent 13 weeks on the US charts, with a top spot of No. 5.

I love Rick Astley's "Never Gonna Give You Up." He still embraces it and it's awesome.



"Together Forever" was a pretty big hit, I think it may have reached No. 1

Dunno how I overlooked this 1979 earworm tune, but did remember its distinct guitar riff. recently rediscovered the entire ditty 40+ years later.

He had two #1s, five top 10, and seven top 40 us singles. Hardly a one-hit wonder.

Good one, and it's a great album too. Another one hit wonder on a terrific album is Closing Time by Semisonic (can't believe it hasn't been mentioned yet)
