1970s—The Decade of Country Duets
Duets were big in country music in the 1970s. Couples with powerhouse voices like Conway Twitty and Lorretta Lynn, Jim Ed Brown and Helen Cornelius, and George Jones and Tammy Wynette burnt up the airwaves. They crooned of love, both broken and new, of wedding rings that weren’t so golden anymore, and living in a beautiful dream with the ones they loved.

The Rocking Life
1970's: Sucking it all in I barely remember the early 1970's. I was only a young child back then. I grew up in a modest home, a son to a Dutch immigrant who was my father and a Puerto Rican transplant who was my mother. Both were hardworking and provided well for our family. My father worked as a cashier for a convenience store that his family-owned and my mother worked as a seamstress. As the saying goes, we didn't have much but we had all we needed.

Music By Bread
When you hear the word bread do you think about food or music? Well of course people will probably say food and look at you strangely. That means they have forgotten or haven’t heard about the rock group which came from Los Angeles, California and was called Bread. Between 1970 and 1977 they had 13 songs which hit the Billboard Hot 100 chart and their kind of music was known as soft rock.

My Favourite Album From Each Year (1970-1979)
I feel like I'm starting from scratch here with this list because I started with the 80s and made my way through to the present decade with my favourite albums from each year from each decade. A lot of my favourite bands started in the 80s, 90s and later. But the more I got into researching and picking up recommendations and scavaging through my music collections, the more I found that I do like a lot of 70s music. I may not have been born in the 70s, but I felt really nostalgic listening to a lot of the 70s music because I know it was the music that my parents liked and music that I was exposed to when I was younger.

Album Review: Station to Station by David Bowie
I mentioned in a review I did of Pink Moon by Nick Drake that every musician seems to have an album where they are presented at their most vulnerable--where we see a genuine look at the pains they are going through. Most Bowie fans would pinpoint his 1977 album Low as this album for him. Personally, I would beg to differ. Low is definitely a great album with stellar experimentation and isolation is a huge feeling one gets throughout the record.

It is Music
Music is the essence of life. I connect to songs that mirror happenings and circumstances in my life. I have many songs that touch me in profound ways and has brought peace and happiness to my soul and songs that bring tears of sorrow and sadness. Life is filled with happy and sad moments so a song can bring us both joy and feelings of melancholy. Music takes us back in time to our days of innocence and youth. I remember when I was growing up as a young child my mom would sing music to me to help me sleep and calm me with her gentle voice that would forever touch my heart. My mom loved Elvis Presley, the Beatles, The Four Seasons and Peter, Paul & Mary. Naturally through her I came to love that music too. Every time I hear Peter, Paul and Mary’s “Blowin’ In The Wind” I remember the times my mom would sing this to me as a young boy as I would slowly drift off to sleep.

Oh What A Night. Second Place in Behind the Beat Challenge.
Oh what a night it was, New Years Eve 1975 and about 15 minutes before midnight. I had no idea my life was about to change, and that Frankie Valli's current hit would be a part of the process. December, 1963 (Oh, What a Night)" is actually a song by the group the Four Seasons, with Frankie Valli as their leader. This recording was written by Bob Gaudio, the original keyboardist for the group and his future wife Judy Parker. The song featured drummer Gerry Polci on lead vocals, with Valli singing backing vocals and the bridge sections. Don Ciccone the former lead singer of The Critters played base and sang the falsetto part of "And I felt a rush like a rolling ball of thunder, spinning my head around and taking my body under." December 63 reached number one in both the UK and the United States. I recall that during my senior year in high school there was a barn dance in the gym, complete with bales of hay. Just as I walked in and sat down December 63 began to play. I'm not certain, but this may have been my first time hearing it and I loved it right away. According to Wikepedia, this was the last hit for the Four Seasons as a group, but as a solo artist, Frankie Valli had another record breaker with Grease.
