I agree, "Afternoon Delight" would be right up there with "Feelings" by Morris Alpert. It has that melancholy feel found throughout Brazilian music that I didn't have a clue about until I married a Brazilian woman and really discovered after the many visits over the years. Alpert was a Brazilian who never made it in Brazil, the irony is how Brazilians really have an affinity for popular American music but NOT Alpert. It isn't the words of "Feelings" but the music, decidedly NOT American pop music but something so different than what I had heard up to that time.
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?
