My wife is British and she'd never heard the song before either.

Why wouldn't UK stations play US bands? Dreamboat Annie was #36 on the charts in the UK, so it wasn't exactly an obscure album. Magic Man was a top 10 hit in the US.

Each country has their own hits. A hit over here would not necessarily get much airplay over there. And vice versa.
Take a look at the
current UK singles chart and you'll find a lot of bands that don't get airplay in the States.
Incidentally, checking
polyhex.com for Magic Man reveals it wasn't a single in the UK
