1970s music group

The 1970s are generally remembered as a time of transition for pop and rock music. This was the decade in which music went from 1960s type of pop at the start to Disco music towards the end, which in turn, was the rhythm that led the music world into the 1980s.

During the '70s, bands and singers also benefited from the production of 8 tracks, which effectively became a new source of revenue for many singers and groups worldwide during the era.
