This week it's Sentimental Lady by Bob Welch.

Great song, I play it, but first recorded while he was part of Fleetwood Mac

Well, this may well be my favorite.
"Incense and Peppermints" by Strawberry Alarm Clock

I figured they must have had other hits. But when I checked the lineup on their album... nope, "Incense and Peppermints" was the only one I'd ever heard of, LOL...

I didn't know that - I'll check it out. Thanks!

The definition of one hit wonder can be fluid. But I only heard one song on the radio and the only other songs I heard from the band were people who bought and played one album.

Thanks. Makes me a little misty.

An FYI regarding Quarterflash...one of the guitarists owns all the rights to the Vox "Phantom" guitar styles, names and parts,
Phantom Guitar Works in the Pacific Northwest.

Re: Sentimental Lady - right, and he also did "Hypnotized" around that time, another great song!

This one doesn’t qualify. Goodbye to You was a big hit for Scandal (and a much better song, IMHO), so this belongs in the 2-Hit Wonder thread.
