Fireball's Fantastic 500 -- Late 1970s, Part III

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.

#60. Promises, Eric Clapton (1978)

#59. Ebony Eyes, Bob Welch (1978)

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.

#58. Every 1's a Winner, Hot Chocolate (1978)

#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.

#55. Jackie Blue, Ozark Mountain Daredevils (1975)

#54. When You're in Love with a Beautiful Woman, Dr. Hook (1979)

#53. Get Down, Get Down (Get on the Floor), Joe Simon (1975)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_QcZFw0cY7E

#52. The Killing of Georgie, Rod Stewart (1976)

The heartbreaking and beautiful story song about the murder of a young gay man in New York City.

#51. Mainstreet, Bob Seger & the Silver Bullet Band (1977)

Unfortunately, only live versions of this song are available on YouTube.

Another set down. The next set will be posted on Thursday, as I guarantee that I will be out of town all of next weekend.

I've always liked the quirky little guitar riff on this one, as well as the way both it and the vocal was recorded.
