As OJ reaches his 250th episode of One Hit Wonders, he's going back to '71 and '72! In this episode you'll hear tracks from a trio who had to cancel their support slot for Deep Purple to headline their own tour: Ashton, Gardener and Dyke. Also, a track which regained popularity after it featured in Grand Theft Auto years after it hit the charts from America, and Jona Lewie playing the accordion for Terry Dactyl & The Dinosaurs. The songs from artists who were huge in the charts... but only managed it once! Want to hear your favourite One Hit Wonder on the show? Email OJ@bbc.co.uk.
