KirtFalcon Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 Bertie Higgins - Key Largo Elbert Joseph "Bertie" Higgins (born December 8, 1944, Tarpon Springs, Florida) is an adult-contemporary singer and songwriter. In 1982, he had his only Top 40 album with Just Another Day in Paradise. It spawned the Top 10 romantic ballad "Key Largo", which referenced the Humphrey Bogart movie of the same name and reached #8 in the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 chart. In 2009, his song was #75 on VH1's Greatest One Hit Wonders of the 80's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cheaptrick77 Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 Too easy: :D Billy Ocean's follow-up "hits" (all made Billboard's Top 10 singles chart) "Loverboy" "Suddenly" "When The Going Gets Tough, The Tough Get Going" "There'll Be Sad Songs (To Make You Cry)" "Love Zone" "Get Outta My Dreams, Get Into My Car" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KirtFalcon Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 ^ the title track from his Just Another Day In Paradise LP was a follow-up hit :) Key Largo was the only REAL Hit he ever had ..... Just Another Day in Paradise was, well, just another song that got some play. I guess if you want to be THAT nit-picking you could say any singer who recorded any other song doesn't qualify. It boils down to what you consider a HIT. He probably hummed Mary Had A Little Lamb when he was a kid too. :w00t: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheaptrick77 Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 It boils down to what you consider a HIT EXACTLY my point ... :) The term is too ambiguous to flippantly label a band/artist a "one-hit wonder". ...and it is a derogatory label, in my opinion ... it presumes that the band/artist only recorded one good song.
