Supernatural Thing: In 1975, King struck gold again with "Supernatural Thing," a top-five hit on the Billboard Hot 100. His discography includes more gems like "Spanish Harlem," "I (Who Have Nothing)," "So Much Love," "Don't Play That Song (You Lied)," "Groovin'," and "Till I Can't Take It Anymore" – songs that have been covered by countless artists, attesting to their enduring appeal.
