1988
One 2 Many was a Norwegian band consisting of Dag Kolsrud (keyboards), Camilla Griehsel http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7iYUhXfpk4A&feature=related (Swedish)(vocals) and Jan Gisle Ytterdal (guitar).
They released their first and only album Mirror on A&M Records in 1988. The Scandinavian pop track "Downtown" was an immediate success all over Europe. Three further singles were released, but while promotion was still underway, the band had already split, solidifying their one-hit wonder status.
Kolsrud went on to join the band Guys in Disguise, after which he pursued a solo career. He later became A-Ha's world tour musical director. Griehsel met UK singer Colin Vearncombe from the band Black and married him in 1990.

LYRICS:
Downtown
Now and then they tell the centre of my dreams
Listening to the feelings of your soul
Just forget about the hard times left behind
And think of where you really want to go
Let me show you where to what to be
Let me show you where can be free
Let me take you to the place I know
Let me take you when we come, lets go
Come downtown
In the city there's a lot of fun
Down downtown
Wooa wooa wooa woo
Come downtown
Let's go ahead, don't turn around
Down downtown
Wooa wooa wooa woo
Think of all the times when you were down and out
Had no money and no place to go
Think of all the times when you were on your own
No one seemed to care - no friends, no love
Let me show you where what to be
Let me show you where you can be free
Let me take you to the place I know
Let me take you when we come, lets go
Come downtown
In the city there's a lot of fun
Down downtown
Wooa wooa wooa woo
Come downtown
Let's go ahead, don't turn around
Down downtown
Wooa wooa wooa woo
I will take all of the shadows right away
Enter Soho with a brighter day
This is no time in a village for a while
We can live a life of happiness and style
Aha
Down downtown
Wooa wooa wooa woo
Come downtown
Down downtown
Wooa wooa wooa woo
Come downtown....
