Classic Rock/A song that's been bothering me

Question
I heard a song on the radio recently. It starts off as a choir-like "hallelujah" maybe 10x, then comes a really long keyboard or synth solo (couldn't tell for sure). Then there's a really nice, repetitive guitar line that's cord heavy. Halfway thru the song, you can hear "ahhh ahh ahh ahhh" in the background. Aside from the hallelujah and ahhs, there's no real lyrics to the song. I'm thinking 70s?
There is only one song that comes to mind, it was called Halleluhah, it was by a group called SWETHOG or SWEATHOG in 1972. If I remember right it was on Columbia records.
If that is not it please let me know.
This band was kind of obscure, I think that song was their only hit.

Expertise
I can answer general questions about rock era bands, record labels they were on, and names of songs. Often I can tell the name of the record company that released a song, as well as the name of the song, and the year of release based on some of the lyrics. I grew up during the rock era and I am a musician myself, and always read the album and 45 info for production credits as well as lineups. One of the chat rooms I go to is quite amused at my ability to name a song along with it`s year of release and record label. I was also a record collector for years.
