One and Done: Artists Who Hit # 1 and Never Returned to the Top 40, 1960-1990

Ever notice how Vicki Lawrence never put out a "Greatest Hits" album? Wonder why you can't download a Nick Gilder boxed set?

Which is hardly a source of shame, that's one more # 1 single that most people will ever have, but still. Here's a list of those rockers who rose fast and fell faster.
