Few historical events have been so colossal they have actually reshaped the course of human history and set new bench marks for future events. Moses giving the laws to the Israelites and leading them from bondage to civilization. The life and death of Jesus Christ juxtaposed with the tumult of the Roman Empire. Marco Polo traveling to China and reporting to the Venetians the incredible story of that ancient civilization. Columbus discovering the New World. Man first stepping on the Moon and considering the infinite universe!

In early 2007, five musical phenoms joined forces to assault mediocrity in commercial music by offering one hit wonders and band favorites to the huddled masses who yearn for ear pleasure.

Imagine it! Songs from groups or solo artists who mostly sucked, but had one hit song, performed and all gathered together by 1&Done to blow your minds. One time favorites revived by the greatest part time musicians ever assembled. Tell your children you heard it here first.

Let’s face it, Moses could wander like no other but his musical skills weren’t exceptional enough to deserve even a biblical mention; Jesus catered the party but didn’t provide the jams; Marco Polo could find Xanadu but knew nothing of Roller-disco; Columbus was too hungry for greatness to even stop and listen to the native drums much less consider the joy to be found in the jungle; Neil Armstrong thought of philosophy at that monumental moment, not the summer of love and the sweet sounds of the sixties.

Truth of the matter: 1&Done musicians are better than Moses, Jesus, Marco Polo, Columbus, and Neil Armstrong even if they were to combine forces and form a super group. There is Dave Roberts, “Beat Master D”, who invented the band and lays down the law on the drums like Moses after seeing the golden calf. There is Bass man Joe Mejia, the “Rockin’ Thunder”, who, like Marco Polo, travels far and wide to create exotic grooves. There is Reba Brewer, “Lady Magic Fingers” on the keyboard, performing sonic miracles like Jesus on a Sunday. There is Randy Brown, the “Cryptic Flash”, whose techno inspired guitar tones and riffs are like a fierce space odyssey that could make Neal Armstrong retreat on behalf of humanity. There is Salvador Caranza, “The Silk”, whose voice is so sweet and powerful it could wake Christopher Columbus from his tomb in Seville and compel him to repent for what he did to native peoples everywhere.

If besting historical figures isn’t enough for you, check out the effect all those one hit wonders will have on your libido. It has been said that one hit wonders are better than Viagra. Let the happy music nest in your naughty regions and drive you to gyrate and spasm like a monkey on crystal meth. Let the sound waves percolate your blood and drive your soul into a sexy soundgasm. You owe it to yourself: come to the next show or hire these epochs for your next important event; your loins will thank you!
