PPP 286: Musical Mystery Opus 3, No. 4 “One Hit Wonder”

 

In the style of Mike Rowe’s podcast “The Way I Heard It” and Paul Harvey’s radio show “The Rest of the Story”, this episode of the Piano Parent Podcast brings you the backstory of a musician or song or a moment in music history. I use these musical mysteries to tell you something you might not know about someone or something that is somewhat familiar; in this case, you will hear the story of a very famous “One Hit Wonder”.
