As the sixties faded into a memory, the hit single still held sway in the early ‘70s. By 1970, the general appeal of the peace and love movement had gone mainstream, infiltrating every aspect of our culture, including soda commercials, which is why a song as syrupy sweet as “Everything Is Beautiful” could be universally appealing, and enjoy such widespread success.
Rock music was in top form, too, while R&B was enjoying a crossover appeal unlike anything seen since then. More than anything, a show like this makes me nostalgic not only for the music itself, but for a time when such diverse music could share the airwaves, often without even changing the dial.
