Some artists only have one really big hit. Jonathan King hit top 20 in November 1965. He had a Top 40 (barely) Adult Contemporary hit in 1971, but this was his only hit on the Hot 100. He did have some influences in the recording studio on songs that weren’t his. He produced some 10cc until 1975 (just in time for them to hit big). He was the first artist to use the “Ooga Chaka Ooga Ooga” bit with “Hooked On A Feeling” (as later done the hit version by Blue Swede). He wound up in jail over child sexual abuse from incidents in the 1980s.
