The all-time Mr. One-Hit-Wonder

[samhexum]

Tony Burrows

A prolific session musician, Burrows was lead singer on one-hit wonders "Love Grows (Where My Rosemary Goes)" by Edison Lighthouse, "United We Stand" by Brotherhood of Man, "My Baby Loves Lovin'" by The White Plains, and "Beach Baby" by First Class. 

My sister had the first two 45s, and I had the others.

He had kind of a Shaun Cassidy-meets-Rick Springfield look when he was 28.

He came to mind when @Stormy posted that weird thread about having the hots for Thomas Edison.
