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?

Whart-Brothers Johnson had 3 top 10 Billboard hits, strong album sales and many top 40 r&b hits. The Trammps had 2 other top 40 Billboard hits. IMO the best disco/r&b examples are...
Rock The Boat-Hues Corporation
The Hustle-Van McCoy
Turn The Beat Around-Vicki Sue Robinson

Dayglow- fair enough. The only song from the Trampps that hit my radar was the Inferno song. As to Bros Johnson, Strawberry Letter really does it for me.

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.
