6) What was the title of the monster Mary Hopkin hit in 1968?
(10 points) 60

7) This song became this band’s 8th Number #1 single in the US on its release in 1978. Ridiculously, the band’s lead singer said “it had absolutely nothing to do with disco” yet it came complete with disco beat and saxophone solos and a falsetto that would have made Barry Gibb proud. Name the band and the song.
