What is your favorite 1 hit wonder from the 70's?

Many on Audiogon agree the 1970's was the best decade for popular music. Whether it was the quality of songwriting or the diversity of music. The decade also produced many unforgettable 1 hit wonders. My personal favorite is Afternoon Delight by Starland Vocal Band, what's yours?

Not necessarily my one and only one and only but certainlyh worth recalling, Blues Image's "Ride Captain Ride". Don't think I saw that posted previously.

Hey again - always liked, "Funkytown".

Check this one out. Might bring back some memories.

William De Vaughn, "Be Thankful for What You Got".

Hello Bvdiman - Must confess I wasn't familiar with Johnnie Wilder. (back in the day, more into hard rock than R&B or "Soul"). I checked out the link you posted. Regardless of category, talent is talent and that man had a gift. Beautiful voice. Thanks for sharing. Did you know the William De Vaughn single? It is such a smooth groove. Can just do a loop of it over and over. Ciao.
