"As Long As I Have You" by Garnet Mimms
How was Garnet Mimms nothing more than a one-hit wonder in the 60s? This Philly raised soul singer soared up the charts to #4 with his debut single, "Cry Baby," in 1963 (the same song Janis Joplin took to #42 in 1971). He had a few other top 40 singles hit as the decade progressed, including "For Your Precious Love" (#26), "Baby Don't You Weep" (#30), and "I'll Take Good Care Of You" (#30), but he remains largely unknown.
