A '''signature song''' is the one song (or, in some cases, one of a few songs) that a popular and well-established singer, or band, is most closely identified with, even if they have had success with a variety of songs. Signature songs are a marketing tool developed by the music industry to promote artists, sell their recordings, and develop a fan base.
==One-hit Wonder==
The term is generally not applied to the successful song of a so-called "[[one-hit wonder]]" — an artist who is closely identified with one song because they have had no other successful songs.
==Examples==
* [[Iron Man]] by Black Sabbath
* Piano Man by Billy Joel
* [[Purple|Purple Haze]] by Jimi Hendrix
* Smoke on the Water by Deep Purple
==See Also==
* [[Iron Man]]
