I am amazed that there is someone else who remembers this song! Nice one. I have a Spreadsheet with - at last count - over 1,900 pieces of Youtube music addresses. There are several pages dedicated to the Top 100 picks of music per year. For several months I've been going through the listings from 1960 towards today. If I find a song I like I note the address, convert it to .MP3 and enjoy. I just landed in 1976. I really hate it when I find a song disappears because Youtube gets letter about some offended party. There are currently Three songs I need to find new homes for. Speaking of One Hit Wonders. From 1976:

A Million Miles Away used to be about my favorite song. If you haven't check out another fantastic song by them, " Oldest Story In the World." They were really one of the best bands out there. That just goes to show though how many great bands there were in the late 70s to the late 80s. Bands that would be considered the best of the best today, were just another band back then. The soundtrack to Valley Girl with Nic Cage and Deborah Foreman had the Plimsouls ( the were the band in the club scene ), Modern English ( I Melt With You ), The Payola's, Josie Cotton, Men at Work, and a ton of other great bands. To me, it was the best soundtrack out there, and still is.

Everybody remembers them for It's My Life, but Mark Holliis was and is one of the greatest songwriters to ever put pen to paper, or fingers to instrument. His motto, is " Never play a note that isn't necessary, and a rest can be as big a statement as any note", but you'd never know it with the lush landscapes he and his band painted.
Talk Talk, there are no words to describe how much genius was in this band. They composed such complex and layered masterpieces, but they would never record anything on an album that they couldn't play perfectly live. Not too many bands do that, or are capable of it, especially to the degree they were, Duran Duran is one of the few that come to mind, where the live version is either exactly the same, or much better.
I kept finding ones to include, but this one is one of the most incredible rock arrangements I've ever heard. This song is pure sex, smooth, incredible passion in ever instrument , from the piano, the bass, and Mark's voice, the pain in his voice with the lyrics, just incredible. You can feel the pain and sadness inside. This has always been on my mixtape / CD for " In the Mood music". I have never seen a girl not melt when this thing is playing in the background if she's even a little into you. These guys were probably the most talented band to take the stage in the name of Rock, New Wave , etc. I haven't played piano or synths now in 20 years ( had to sell everything due to illness and divorce ) , and I kick myself for it, but I used to play this , had my Rolands and drum machine with the sequencers over the top of the piano in the den, and sat a few ladies down on the bench with me and played this. Extremely romantic song. But, after Titanic came out, that's about all they wanted you to play. lol

I'm going to tie another one hit wonder to the Valley Girl Soundtrack, and to another song from another one hit wonder that was posted earlier. The band Looking Glass, that had the hit, "Brandy, "you're a fine girl ", also had a song titled " Jimmy Loves Mary Anne." It didn't have much success, it was sort of plain the way they played it.
But years later, Josie Cotton ( smoking hot little vixen that she was ), who performed at the prom scene in Valley Girls, with the hits " He Could be the One" and " Johnny are You Queer", covered it, and it charted, but not very high, still, it was a really good cover.

I thought these guys had the right sound for the time and were talented, but they didn't go anywhere. This release as really good though, and was everywhere in 1983-1984.

A one hit wonder that should have had a lot more, with Yes and Asia guitarist Steve Howe and Genesis guitarist Steve Hackett, I thought they would have been huge.
From 1985, GTR with When the Heart Rules the Mind.

Another band that should have broken big. Much better than Bon Jovi or any of the other guitar / synth bands around other than maybe Y&T , Giuffria had some great stuff. If they'd come around maybe two years earlier, they would have caught that wave at the beginning and ridden it out til the end. By 1985 it was getting late in that game.
And their one hit,

Here is another one with David Clayton Thomas of Blood Sweat and Tears fame ... 1966. His real name is David Thomsett and I know this because he and his family lived one block away from me in the burbs. His mother was my fathers secretary.
Both him and his brother were the local tough guys and area bullies. Some anti-war stuff in this one.

I think this band got swamped in the coming wave of grunge. Singer is just gorgeous, hot, beautiful. And she later married Paul Simon, IIRC.

Sad - at least two on this page duped from earlier in the thread - not calling anybody out, one was mine.
Making up for it? The Call had one other minor hit, that nobody probably remembers. This was their only top 20 song.
