ONE HIT WONDERS …
DEXY’S MIDNIGHT RUNNERS
Artist: Dexy's Midnight Runners
Song: Come on Eileen
Year: 1983
Dexys Midnight Runners' first album, entitled Searching for the Young Soul Rebels, featured horns as well as the songwriting ability of Kevin Rowland. Though the album did not register on the charts in the United States, it found success in England.
Following the release of the album, three members of Dexys Midnight Runners took leave of the band to form Bureau. Rowland, however, remained with Dexys Midnight Runners.
The band subsequently switched its focus, finding its roots in celtic and folk music as evidenced in the second album Too-Rye-Ay. The album included the hit "Come On Eileen," which enjoyed international success.
