Bob Lind can probably be considered among the royalty of one-hit wonders. In spite of its title, "Elusive Butterfly" has always been with us, becoming a staple on oldies and "Music of Your Life (R)" radio stations, as well as covered by numerous artists.
The song was arranged by Jack Nitzsche -- he's responsible for the prominent strings -- and features Leon Russell as one of the session musicians. (Though for the life of me, I can't pick out his piano playing.)
Bob's only other appearance on the Hot 100 was a 5-week stint with "Remember the Rain", his follow-up to "Elusive Butterfly". It peaked at #64.
Bob, 73, currently lives in Florida, has a website, and still performs.
5 weeks in the top 10.
