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 sure if it's already been mentioned, but I just heard:

"(Whoa,oh,oh...It's) Magic" by Pilot on XM radio, identified as 1975.

A natural for this list.

Martykl-Your correct! "Magic" peaked at #5 in 1975. Pilot never had another Top 40 Billboard hit. Loomisjohnson- If I was to include 1 R&B song(in my Top 10) "Be Thankful" would be at the top of my list(the LP version is killer)!
