Who do you think is the longest-running one-hit-wonder act?

There's a festival locally headlined by... NANTUCKET. (The voiceover guy on the radio ads somehow manages to keep a straight face.) I'm sure some solo act from the 60s or even 50s is still up and running, but I just can't think of anybody. On the one hand, solo acts are by definition easier to keep together than bands; on the other, bands can just plug in new members and roll on forever. So what are thoughts? Who's playing at your local festivals who makes you say, "Hey... I sort of remember him.":)

1. I call these bands "WhosLeftIn"

This weekend only! "WhosLeftIn Styx" and "WhosLeftIn Lynard Skynard."

3. Heck, they had two hits on one record

Born To Be Wild and Magic Carpet Ride were on one two-sided single as I recall. I'm reasonably sure that Hey Lawdy Mama was a hit, too. (I just found out that there was a 1940s jitterbug-type record by the same title; I wonder if that's where little John Kay learned the phrase, back when he was still Joachim Fritz Krauledat.)
