Does anyone know anything about this song or the artist it's by?

It's the best song//video combo that I have heard in approximately my entire life. I was introduced to it this weekend and wondering if it was a big hit (it should've been)...It was by Dee D. Barnes and released in 1978.

Seriously, watch it.

(P.S. How much does the robot look like Bender from Futurama!)
