Kevin A. Morris brings an extensive background in research and personal experience to his book One Hit Wonders. Raised in Santa Cruz, CA, Morris combines his lifelong passion for music and statistical analysis with his professional expertise in accounting to dig into the stories behind music’s most fleeting stars. The book is the result of over two years of research, totaling over 350 hours, during which Morris examined the charts from the earliest days of rock and roll up to contemporary hits. His journey began with a trivia contest on a cruise, sparking his quest to create the most accurate reference possible on one-hit wonders, a project also supported by a network of musician friends and music aficionados. This endeavor not only underscores Morris’s commitment to precision but also his deep engagement with the music industry’s unique narratives.
