Reliving The Music Of The Seventies

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.
