We see flash-in-the-pan artists come and go with every decade, but one-hit wonders of the '70s ironically always seem to stick around. For example, you’ve probably heard the classics “American Pie” by Don McLean or “Spirit in the Sky” by Norman Greenbaum despite not knowing any of their other songs or discography. Below, music lovers have ranked the greatest songs of the '70s by one hit wonders in order to increase awareness for them—and also because they kick ass. So if you like “American Pie” or “Spirit in the Sky,” you’re sure to love the other one hit wonders of the '70s below. Also be sure to vote for your favorite '70s one-hit wonders below or add any you feel should be on the list

It's a good crossover from the 1960s to the 1970s.
“More more more”
Andrea True Connection 1976.
If you want to see a real mind bender then check out when the Lawrence Welk singers did a cover of”One toke over the line “
on one of their shows.

How about, Avenging Annie by Andy Pratt?
No flip side, no second album, no nothing. Just one album with kind of a cult following.
*************************
Sorry, they had a second album, “Marrying Maiden” that actually charted higher than the first album.
In 1978 they released a cover of the folk song "Black Betty" once covered by Lead Belly. The song still has airplay today.
Their look and sound is so 1970s.

I didn’t know that.
I enjoy listening to brief snippets in my head when I see the song title. It’s like instant dopamine without waiting for the entire song. And the nostalgic time/place that go with it.
“Stairway to Heaven” - Led Zeppelin
“Slow Ride” - Foghat

I see what you did there lol
You’ve got Tony Burrows on this list three times with three different groups.
Is he still a one hit wonder?
