We all associate songs and music with events in our life. Many songs hold special memories for us. We fondly remember
songs that were playing when we went to our first dance,
songs
school band attempted to play during half time at
high school football games,
songs that we heard on our first date, or
songs we heard on
radio while driving our first car.The music of
1970’s is probably
most impressive and most recognized of any era. The artists of
1970’s provided us with numerous songs we loved to dance to and sing along with. At that time most bands actually played their own instruments and didn’t need to sequence part of it.
Remember how we used to listen to
music then? At first we had eight track players in our cars, then we moved upward to cassette players. Vinyl records were
most popular way to listen to our favorite music. Every week you could go to your local variety or record store and pick up
new #1 song on a 45 record for under $1.00. Of course, there was always
radio to listen to - most of
popular channels were on am radio. We had many styles of music to listen to, including
bubble gum music of David Cassidy and
Partridge Family, soft rock of Barry Manilow,
great dance tunes of
Bee Gees and
Commodores, rock of Aerosmith and Led Zeppelin,
brass band sounds of Chicago, or
disco beat of Chic and Donna Summers.
