Nothing beats this, and yeah, you would hit it.

Gotta be Billy Ray Cyrus

Gotta be Billy Ray Cyrus

I don't like watching him like I do Lynn Anderson.

 

[KansasSooner]

gotta be this one because I can't think of another song she ever had

Good call, although she had "Funny Face" which hit #1 also, but nothing ever again close to topping the charts.....

Lynn Anderson had way more success.....

 

[KansasSooner]

Truthfully I didn't care for either song.

 

[Driaz]

Gotta be Billy Ray Cyrus

He did have a lot more success then just the stupid massively overplayed "Achy Breaky Heart" song.....

His song "Some Gave All" is still one of my favorites of his songs.....

He made some good stuff after he lost his "one hit wonder" status....

 

[Driaz]

Truthfully I didn't care for either song.

LOL....not saying I did either, but she did have two #1 songs, and absolutely nothing else......

 

[Driaz]

Truthfully I didn't care for either song.

Probably my favorite of songs of that time period sung by female artists that never went big time has to be...

Although, that song was written by one of the best country songwriters of all time in my opinion, so I'm biased....

Who sang "Don't it turn my brown eyes blue"? That sounds like a one hit wonder to me.

crystal gayle?

Several artists recorded it but I think Crystal Gayle's is the version most known.

Crystal Gale was not a one hit wonder either.......

 

[Driaz]

I think this might be the winner!!!

Was this a hit? I love when I talk older country music on the internet because I learn so much from other people way smarter then me!!!

Obviously this song turned into a huge hit for Reba McEntire (whom I love) but was it an original one hit wonder at the time?

Looking at this closer, yep this is the winner......only song of a hit, although she was way more successful as an actress......

I'm going to close my brain and go with this song was, is, and always will be my favorite Okie female artist in Reba.....

In 1974 the great Charlie Rich won Country Musician of the Year. In 1975 he had to hand the award off to Mr. Sunshine-on-my-Goddamn-shoulders John Denver! John Fucking Denver!

Ill Be dammed if Mr. Rich didn't take out his cigarette lighter and light the award on fire in front of everyone.
