Music of the 70 - An informal reveiw of some of my favorites

I read that 1970 was a crucial decade in American culture sends in a new direction. The decade began with the "smile" stickers and bubblegum music, and moved from there in different directions. Here are some of my favorite shots from this decade:

1) "Popcorn" -

This song was music to the Moog synthesizer, an instrument that has been a popular late-'60s was. And 'composed by Gershon Kingsley and first published in 1969, althoughthe band "Hot Butter", which really made a hit in 1972. "Hot Butter" Stan used to play only free synthesizer. I liked it because it really sounds like popcorn, is catchy and fun.

2) "The Lion Sleeps Tonight" -

Originally a South African Zulu folk song, and became a hit in the U.S. in 1961 by the Tokens. It 'was in 1972 by Robert John, who loved the version that I updated the better. It 'really was a great success in South Africa when it was recorded bySolomon Linda in 1939, he has written is based on an experience chasing lions stalking his family had cows. This is a catchy tune, although some of the words can be confusing for some people.

3) "Stairway to Heaven" -

This song by Led Zeppelin in 1971, was preferred by everyone in my school. In fact, it was the most requested song ever on FM stations, and more popular in the sheet rock and roll, selling over a million copies. It was writtenRobert Plant and Jimmy Page, and is eight minutes. It was never released as a single.

4) "Lady Marmalade" -

It 'was a song about a prostitute in New Orleans in French
Quarter (red light district) and was designed in 1974 by Patti Labelle in E 'was Bob Crewe and Kenny Nolan and was written by its greatest success. I could not understand a lot of words, but I was excited to be able to understand the French avec "Voulez-vous couchermoi, ce soir? (I want to sleep with me tonight?) "

5) "I am woman" -

This song was released in 1972. Helen Reddy and Ray Burton wrote poetry changed some of them suitable for the music he wrote for her. They were both Australians. Feminism was in the "70 is great and this was one of the leading feminist anthems. And say I found exciting.

6) "Riders on the Storm" -

This song, from the year 1971, was Jim Morrison last year, shortly before his death. The effect of rainThis song was played on electric piano. I think the only plan was the best part of any song, but was cut short in part on the song for AM radio. This is my favorite song of all time.

The 1970s were good years for music. There was lots of variety, everything from disco to feminists and protest songs, and darker, "adult" songs. . There was music, to please everyone. It 's a shame that this music, there's nothing game, except for the factgreat success. Many lesser-known 1970's music would be nice to hear again.
