70s Music Explosion

$119.98

The enduring appeal of 70s pop music lies in the way it celebrated simple pleasures and transformed the commonplace into something magical. Even when the subject matter turned dark, a positive vibe would break through the gloom like a rainbow after a thunderstorm. It was something new in mainstream culture, a blend of '50s innocence and naiveté spiked with a healthy dose of '60s idealism. It was the golden age of the single, when the song mattered more than the singer, and what mattered most of all was three minutes of pop bliss. Now your favorites 45s and AM radio classics are back on the Time Life 70s Music Explosion! These are the songs you grew up with and know by heart—150 chart-toppers and one-hit wonders that defined the '70s, and made
memories. Recommended by actor/singer Barry Williams.
