Holy cow, all this time I thought that was done by Jefferson Airplane/Starship.

Vicki Lawrence from the Carol Burnett show.

Lawrence got her start as one of the scores of hopefuls on the syndicated Johnny Mann's Stand Up And Cheer program. But she is most known for her #1 hit, "The Night the Lights Went Out in Georgia", a song written by her first husband Bobby Russell, which was released on Bell Records in November 1972. It sold over two million copies, and was awarded a gold disc by the R.I.A.A. in April 1973.[3] (Cher was offered the song first but, unbeknownst to her, her then-husband Sonny Bono had turned it down.)

"He Did With Me," Lawrence's follow-up to "The Night the Lights Went Out in Georgia," reached #75 in the United States, although it became her biggest hit in Australia, peaking at #1 there in November 1973. She followed it up there with "Ships In The Night" (1974). A year later, in the fall of 1975, Lawrence managed one last minor US chart entry on the Private Stock label with "The Other Woman" (#81).

She released a disco album entitled Newborn Woman late in 1979. The album produced the minor disco hit "Don't Stop the Music".

Can't forget Artist: 10CC Song: "The things we do for Love." But I agree two hits at best. Good candidate for online single buyers.
