Quite inexplicably, Sommer could not land another chart appearance with the many harmonious gems on his follow-up self-titled record. "Someone Like Me" is a perfect song from the era that should have given him a higher profile. He passed away from illness in 1990 at only 41 years of age.

"Someone Like Me" by Bert Sommer
Bert Sommer, who played Claude in the musical Hair, became a one-hit wonder in 1970. His lone chart appearance was "We're All Playing In The Same Band," which managed to reach #48. Before that, he spent a little time as lead singer for The Left Banke.
