I stumbled across the idea for this post when I was praying the LOTH today and ran across this quote attributed to Mother Teresa of Calcutta: \u201cGod has not called me to be successful; He has called me to be faithful.\u201d <\/p>\n

I suppose\u00a0some of the following artists were on the precipice of worldly success, some probably didn\u2019t care, but\u00a0others hoped for superstardom. As you will see, that wasn\u2019t meant to be because these were all \u201cone hit wonders.\u201d
<\/a>
But the following songs were hits because each of them struck a chord with\u00a0listeners, or at least with program directors, back in the heyday of radio. So let\u2019s consider them catholic with a small \u201cc\u201d and have a little fun going down memory lane with what I can remember hearing on the radio or television over the years.<\/p>\n

Norman Greenbaum, Spirit in the Sky<\/em> (1969-70) For the longest time, I thought this was played by the band T-Rex.\u00a0 I always liked it growing up, and dug the guitar riffs too. And who doesn\u2019t want to \u201cgo to the place that\u2019s the best?\u201d<\/p>\n
