The '70s and '80s were just the period during which the best soul music was created and the best records were done.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I think the '70s was a much healthier period for music because people were more innovative and creative.
Artists were nurtured back in the '70s. Their music was developed by the record companies.
Stevie Wonder's records introduced me to '70s soul when I was 12 or 13.
I think the '60s and '70s were the peak period for the singer-songwriter, for sure.
The late '70's and early '80s is the zenith of a certain craftsmanship in sound recording.
The heyday of video music was the mid 80's.
When you look at what we can call the golden era of concept albums, which starts in the mid or late '60s and ends maybe in the early '80s, it's an interesting time for music. You see all these very established and popular acts and bands and artists that were somehow on the top of their game but really trying to experiment.
The Seventies were just an interesting time for us because we were building the brand of the name but also varying the style of the music on each of the albums we did. Very creative time of us.
I can't remember too much about the '80s, to be honest with you... I wish that weren't true, but it is.
Soul was the music made by and for black people. For most of the Sixties it was thoroughly divorced from white popular music, but by the end of the decade several artists with their roots firmly in both soul and R&B traditions had crossed over.
