    How about the Village People?
    Don't remember the year when "San Francisco" was released and not sure at all if this track achieved gold-single status. Could have been in '77, but not a number 1 I'm afraid.

    Beth by Kiss looks like it was the first gold single for Casablanca.

    Well... according to Casablanca's year- end Billboard ad for 1976 wherein they toot their own horn for the year ..... it was a different song that went gold that year .....:icon_confused:

    Oh ... looking further ..... Kiss' BETH was just dropping out of the TOP 40 at the end of '76 and hadn't yet been certified .


    So it wasn't Kiss ...
    It wasn't Donna Summer .....
    ( and no Magnifique .... The Village People hadn't yet been invented)

    It had to be ____?_____??

    I thought for sure it would be something by Kiss.

    But my next guess would be:

    Give Up The Funk (Tear The Roof Off The Sucker) by Parliament.
