An interesting piece of music trivia

[bear]

I don't know if this has been told in here, and I wouldn't know where to begin to look. So, I'll just tell it, and if it gets zapped, it gets zapped.

The band Paper Lace, as you all know, had the hit in the US, 'The Night Chicago Died'.

But did you know, they also had a hit in the UK, 'Billy Don't Be a Hero', which was a hit in the US for Bo Donaldson and the Heywoods

So, Papaer Lace has the distinction of being a one hit wonder on two different continents with two different songs, while 'Billy Don't Be A Hero has the distinction of being a one hit wonder...twice.

if that makes any sense.

Why would that get "zapped"? It is an interesting story!! Something I never knew, anyway!!

Well, i didn't know if it'd been covered already.

I'm somewhat of an afficionado of 70's one hit wonders. :rolleyes:

[rainbowdemon]

I hear you. I grew up in the 70's. Love it too!!

Well, doggone it Bear......I didn't know that but........you can get all the tracks you mentioned for free off the net.......I did. :)

I didn't know that Billy Don't Be a Hero was a hit for Paper Lace in the UK. I don't have any albums by Bo Donaldson & The Heywoods and only one by Paper Lace.
