The 70’s begin with the harmonies of Crosby, Stills, and Nash.

and Cat Stevens.

Oh Very Young

And by 1978 everyone is dancing to Saturday Night Fever

      2. The last half of the 20th Century saw a burst of creative expression in all of the arts.

        By 1978 there’s an abundance of new music and the emergence of multi-media. My list doesn’t include, Kraftwerk, Ian Drury, Television, and Patti Smith.
