You *were* beaten on that one
And not only wouldn't I have any idea what the Golden Girls theme was - I don't think that could count as a song

Interesting about that one. That *was* the only major hit for White Plains. But White Plains didn't have much claim to being a hit band; it was really a backing band for Tony Burrows, a very talented studio musician - who had similar hits under different names during the same era: Edison Lighthouse (Love Grows Where My Rosemary Goes), The Pipkins (Gimme Dat Ding), The Brotherhood of Man (United We Stand), First Class (Beach Baby). So White Plains WAS a one hit wonder - but Tony Burrows was one of the biggest pop stars of the era who no one ever knew.

Well, a notable instrumental, but there were lots of others that preceeded it that were terrific...check out the Ventures from the 60s

Strange to think that you know them even though you weren't around to hear them every 60 minutes on the radio
Nice list
