*to qualify as a MFD two hit wonder, the artist or group can have placed only two singles in the Billboard Top 40 and those two singles must have entered the Top 40 during the years 1976-85. Many of these artists are occasionally mistaken for a one hit wonder or have hit other charts in Billboard, but each hit the Top 40 only twice. In no particular order, here's four of the 64 that I found:
CHAMPAIGN
R&B group from Champaign, Illinois: Pauli Carman and Rena Jones (vocals), Leon Reader (guitar), Michael Day and Dana Walden (keyboards), Michael Reed (bass) and Rocky Maffit (drums).

| Try Again | 5/14/83 | 23 |
THE HONEYDRIPPERS
All-star rock group: Robert Plant (vocals), Jimmy Page and Jeff Beck (guitars), and Nile Rodgers (bass). Plant and Page from Led Zeppelin and Rodgers from Chic.
