After his great 1972 solo debut, Simon could stop proving he could go it alone without Art Garfunkel. So he made the sunniest music of his career, lifted by the R&B and doo-wop rhythms he grew up loving. The hit: "Kodachrome," about "all the crap I learned in high school."

Total album sales: 1 million +

Peak chart position: 2
