Great Collection Of Some Classic Tunes:
Well, I'd like to start off by saying that if you're looking for some hard to find hit songs from the 60's through the 90's, you won't go wrong with this collection! All of the original hits are here as you remember them. I do have just one disagreement with this collection. Eric Carmen should have not been included on a disc of artists that are "one hit wonders." Anyone who knows anything about music would have never included him in this collection. How about such hits as Change Of Heart, Make Me Lose Control, She Did It and Hungry Eyes from the movie Dirty Dancing. Eric Carmen has quite a collection as a solo artist as well as his work with the Raspberries. So, aside from this mistake, the songs chosen here are a pretty good retrospective of just some of the one hit wonders from the 60's/90's. I really don't think that you can compile a definitive "one hit wonders" collection unless you broke it down by individual years. However, this is a pretty good start. In short, if you appreciate top 40 music that covers several decades, then get this collection. You won't be sorry.
