Mike Oldfield is considered a one hit wonder in the U.S. for "Tubular Bells", but has several songs that are just as good including: "Sailing" (Vocals by Luke Spiller) "Poison Arrows" (Vocals by Barry Palmer) "Crime of Passion" (Vocals by Barry Palmer) "Moonlight Shadow" (Vocals by Maggie Reilly) "Man in the Rain" (Vocals by Helen 'Pepsi' DeMacque) "Shadow on the Wall" (Vocals by Roger Chapman) "The Bell" (Vocals by Vivian Stanshall) "Heavens Open" (Vocals by Mike Oldfield) |

It's been 15 years now since this song was named the #1 country song of the year which of course was 2008.
God bless you and James always!!! Holly (a fan of him ever since) |

Everyone that posted in this thread after Zoneboy did has clearly misunderstood the question.

In other words, he wanted to know what are some great songs by artists that are seen as one hit wonders aside from the song that they're known for. He didn't ask what are some great songs that are one hit wonders. |

^^^ Awesome! That means that I can talk more about my favorite. To me, everything else that came from James should've done just as well if not better. Right here was the follow up to his big song and to me this video that went with the song only made the song better.
God bless you and him always!!! Holly |
