Best Last/Late Era Hit?

Chicken Man

Kick Henry Jackassowski
There's a lot of hair splitting that could happen here in terms of what is/isn't a hit, and what constitutes late/late era, but I'm looking for those last glimpse of greatness songs from legacy bands. We Built This City on Rock and Roll is a typical last hour in that it is awful. I'm looking for the opposite.
I was thinking about Steve Miller Band's Abracadabra, which sounds like the Steve Miller Band, but also sounds like the 80s, and I think was their last real hit that was popular. Start Me Up feels like the last Stones song that people actually sent up the charts, and everything after that was just people buying it because it was the rolling Stones, but I want around then.

So what have you got? Wildest Dreams by Moody Blues? You Can Do Magic by America? What's the Frequency, Kenneth?
 
Last year Abba released their first album in 39 years. It had a few singles that charted all over the world and are every bit as good as the bands peak in the late 70s/early 80s heyday. So -

Abba - Don't Shut Me Down.
 
If the thing with Travis Kelce works out Taylor will be happy, run out of material, and this will be her last great song.
 
This acoustic intro is as good as any in the history of mankind.
Maybe I oversold that?
Maybe not....
