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?

Ahh yes... soul/disco!

-Funkytown (Lipps Inc.)
-Le Freak (Chic)
-Let's Groove (Earth, Wind & Fire)
-I Love The Nightlife (Alicia Bridges)
-You To Me Are Everything (The Real Thing)

Are few that will transport me right back to those fun filled groovy days.

Hey now! Earth, Wind & Fire was hardly a 1 hit wonder band.

I know. Neither was The Real Thing.

-Just An Illusion (Imagination)

Not sure if this too will qualify. But to me them are just too darn hot to miss out on when listing--70's Soul/Disco hits.
