Minnie Riperton does appear on one of the Wikipedia lists.

Bobby Goldsboro doesn't make the Wikipedia lists, but I think he qualifies.

It's kind of odd to call people like that "One Hit Wonders" when they were talented and seem to have had a long career with plenty of fans, but just never made the top end of the charts apart from once or twice.
While we're at it let's also throw in a great classical One Hit Wonder.

I didn't have to find them... already loved 'em. :)
Great choices Philipy. Props for finding some that were not on the lists. That Minnie has a great voice. Sadly she died at an early age to due breast cancer.
