I am a black guy who grew up in the 70's and 80's. I love Motown but also love the Eagles, Fleetwood Mac, Chicago, Journey, The Doobie Brothers, Hall and Oats etc. I agree with other comments on here. Artist and music was more authentic and better back then in my opinion no matter the genre.

I was a teenager in the '70's, and it was absolutely the best time to be around! We weren't stuck on genres,we just loved the music. This song was popular when I was 16, and I can't think of a single person back then who didn't like it.

[@loristone9242]

So true! I was in elementary school in the 1970's, and this fluid musical genre phenomenon also carried over into the 80's and 90's. I remember hearing this song on the radio and I loved it even as a little kid. I almost always got to stay up late with my older siblings to watch The Midnight Special and I saw so many cool bands on that show.

I’m currently the lead singer with a Charleston, SC area classic rock cover band (60’s, mostly 70’s,and some 80/90’s). I can’t tell you how much joy we bring to (not only) people my age but young adults in their early 20’s. I’m blown away by how many young people know and sing along with the lyrics! It’s a beautiful thing!

This is the stuff I grew up on. Firefall, Player, Triumph, all the singer/songwriters, CSN. Songs that told a story, played by real musicians with talent. No auto-tune, just people laying their hearts out there for all to see. Multi-track recording started in the 50's. Les Paul was the innovator who created not only that, but also came up with reverb. Plus he made a pretty good electric guitar.

Gosh, I love these new kids listening. My mom refused us the living room for years. We were all musical, and she couldnt tolerate the noise. We got the barn, (no animals in there, they were safely penned outside). Finally, dad gave in. He bought us a pool table, and a big clunky stereo. I'm not sure if you would have ever seen one. A turn table on top, double cassete player underneath, a stereo/radio under that, speakers on the bottom. We sat in the floor, around the stereo, and listened with intent, what we thought we could learn to play. Who had the voice to sing it? Then, out to the barn, to recreate what we learned. A lot of heartache and fear, but, it was a majical time.

Most people today don't realize that back in the 70s it wasn't just the fabulous music. EVERYTHING changed! Besides the music it was the vibe, the clothes, the hair, widespread recreational drug use, care for the environment, free love, even the colors of clothing/interior design (earth colors like poppy, harvest gold, avocado green), the transportation (hippie VW buses or hitchhiking), the breaking of traditional expectations, and so much more. It was this huge upwelling that we all whole-heartedly embraced. It was exciting, like riding a huge existential wave into an uncharted new world. I wish you all could have experienced it!
