One Hit Wonders: Ketty Lester & Kathy Young
Manage episode 417725321 series 3465946
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 artists attained that label.
I'm Bill Price and in this edition of One Hit Wonders, I will focus on two solo artists of the early 1960's, Ketty Lester and Kathy Young.
