Earlier this week we began sharing a list of the best classic rock one hit wonder songs of all time. Here’s part two of that list…

Iron Butterfly’s “In a gadda da vida” released in 1968 and the confusion about the meaning of the song helped the popularity of the song. The band hailed from San Diego, loving their 15 minutes of fame. All but two of the original members have died.

“Spirit in the Sky” by Norman Joel Greenbaum was years ahead of its time. The song also had a film life as it has appeared in ‘Remember the Titans’, ‘Apollo 13’, and ‘Guardians of the Galaxy’. Norman lives in Santa Rosa, CA, bed ridden due to a car accident in 2015. He was the passenger of a car that caused the accident, killing the motorcyclist.

“All Right Now” by Paul Rogers and Free is clean, hot and powerful. The late guitarist Paul Kossoff gave the rock world one of the coolest opening riffs ever recorded. Paul Rogers made his money with Bad Company.
