Welcome to Rock and Roll Flashback! Throughout the 50's and 60's, there were numerous Rock and Roll bands, vocal groups and solo artists. Many went on to have successful music careers, but unfortunately for others, lasting popularity did not always materialize. Some groups managed to achieve brief recognition, sometimes with just one hit, only to vanish from the music scene. A few managed to achieve some success, but only regionally, never quite gaining significant national attention. Those artists have come to be known as One Hit Wonders.
During the 1950's and 1960's several attained that label. In 1958 an unknown group from Southern California, achieved a number one hit with “To Know Him Is to Love Him”. In 1960 another southern California band had a number five hit with “Angel Baby”. In this edition of one hit wonders I’ll feature the story of two groups, The Teddy Bears and Rosie and The Originals.
