Chris Isaak
Chris Isaak has had great success... His retro-influenced rockabilly didn’t easily fit into the #Top40 radio trends in the late '80s & early '90s… and I don’t get the impression that he cared. He became a cult icon, though… and has amassed a huge, loyal following. #ChrisIsaak #OneHitWondered
