SPOTLIGHT = George Ducas (1 song) & Dave Dudley (1 song)

A ‘1-hit wonder’ & a truck driving song leader….

#1
George Ducas, born in Texas City TX, is a singer-songwriter-guitarist who perhaps is underrated a bit. During his brief mid-1990s career, he only notched 1 Top 10; this song debuted 12/10/1994, spent 20 weeks on the charts & peaked at #9 in early 1995. As much as I remember hearing it on the radio back then, would’ve thought it notched higher. None of his other 5 releases reached the Top 30, with only 1 reaching the Top 50: 1994’s “Teardrops” (#38).
