And now for some more memorable music from the late 1970s--brought to you by 1970s porn mustaches that are more qualified to be National Security Adviser than John Bolton.

The cigar-puffing former member of Fleetwood Mac makes my list with one of the handful of solo hits that he had in the late 1970s.

#57. This Will Be, Natalie Cole (1975)
The unforgettable and dearly departed daughter of Nat King Cole made her own mark in music history with this, the first of many big hits that she would score on the Top 40.

#56. Break Away, Art Garfunkel (1975)
David Crosby and Graham Nash provided backing vocals on this modestly successful single. It just narrowly got into the Top 40, but it did manage to top the AC chart.
