Edwin Collins has a strong cult following with both his solo works as well as being in another one-hit wonder, Orange Juice. He's released a number of singles that usually registered in the lower reaches of the UK charts, although you can say that "A Girl Like You" was his only US single. I think in The UK, Collins has had a couple of other known singles. Still, even though chart-wise he's been sporadic, like Terry Hall, he's quite an icon.
