  1. Brandy was one of the great one hit wonders…it was built for AM radio. Great list with a few duds…Wayne Newton…I still can’t believe it.

  3. I had no idea that Gary Glitter’s song was that old. And, I haven’t heard Beautiful Sunday in YEARS.

    I was getting ready to start first grade and I remember a lot of those on the radio. I always liked How Do You Do, though it is a goofy song.
