One-Hit Wonders

One of my favourite possessions is The CHUM Chart Book by Ron Hall. Long out of print, it is a listing of all songs that charted on Toronto top-40 radio station CHUM between 1957 and 1986.

I sometimes spend spare time looking up obscure songs in the book and then finding them on YouTube. I've found some interesting things, so I want to share them with you.

Listings are sorted by artist last name.
