Here is the much needed "Whatever happend to" thread. Not one hit wonders as such but those artists and bands who had one or two cheesy hits that made the top 10 and then vanished as quickly as they arrived.
Here are some of the more recent-ish ones....
KrissKross
New Kids on the Block
Sonia
Rick Astley
Tiffany
Any more???.........

Kev, the Jazz Cafe is a great venue and because of the small size there is a wonderful intimate atmosphere that is often created enabling the performers to be far more personable with the audience than at many other venue's.
In the last year I've seen Incognito, Billy Paul, Jean Carne, Dexter Wansel, Roy Ayers & Terry Callier at the Jazz Cafe and every one of those gigs was very good to excellent (Incognito were mindblowing).
Sin.. TTD did a few - as did arrested development.... Mr wendal, everyday people.... come on you lot... one hit wonders!!! McFadden and Whitehead.... a great tune... why didnt they do anything else that charted? (or did they!)
hmmm so far i could say
Baby Bash
Youngbloodz
D12
Rass Kass
Obie Trice
Mobb Deep

McFadden & Whitehead were writers/producers/arrangers at the legendary Phili label, who just fancied releasing a tune.

Still HUGE on the American country scene and still touring. It always amazes me how big country artists can be in the US and yet be unheard of in the UK - with a few exceptions of course.
