Thanks for running the tourney Revo!If DMT didn't exist we would have to invent it. There has to be a weirdest thing. Once we have the concept weird, there has to be a weirdest thing. And DMT is simply it.

I like to peruse Wikipedia and click/read the different random links, and I was reading about Sonny Geraci, who I didn't realize was the lead singer for two one-hit wonder bands -- The Outsiders (1967's "Time Won't Let Me") and Climax (1972's "Precious and Few").
Apparently Climax was the new name of The Outsiders, who due to internal conflicts, a couple of members splintered off and after a lawsuit, was forced to change their name.
There are a few other cases of lead singers having hits with multiple one hit wonders, but many were studio musician types and the bands weren't actual touring bands -- notably Ron Dante of The Archies (1969's "Sugar Sugar") and The Cuff-Links (1969's "Tracy") and Tony Burrows, who was the lead singer on FIVE one hit wonders (four in 1970, dang was he busy): Edison Lighthouse's 1970 hit "Lover Grows Where My Rosemary Goes"; The Pipkins' 1970 hit "Gimme Dat Ding"; White Plains's 1970 hit "My Baby Loves Lovin'"; Brotherhood of Man's 1970 hit "United We Stand"; and finally, First Class's 1974 hit "Beach Baby."
