“In The Year 2525” #1 7/12/1969

The rarest of one-hit wonders, a debut single that hit #1 and became the only chart record EVER for the act. That happened for the Nebraska-based duo of Zager and Evans with their take on what technology was doing to the world. This topped the charts for six weeks, from the week of the Apollo 11 lunar launch up through Woodstock. Recorded in Odessa, TX (!) with the local symphony providing strings.
