I'm blanking on who did "Afternoon Delight". Was it Starland Vocal Band? Always liked that Long Tall Glasses song, too. Not a one-hit wonder, there, though, it was jes' different from his other hits. Al Stewart's Year Of The Cat, anyone?

"Year Of The Cat" is a cool record. Reminds me of "Baker Street" by Gerry Rafferty with that great alto sax lick! I believe that's a one hit wonder, too. Ern
