The middle and late ’70’s were another great time for music. There was a lot of diversity, and people could really mix it up. If they were building a playlist, it’d have soul, country, rock, easy listening, even jazz all mixed in there.

When I saw #10 I thought to myself did the Carpenters do that? I guess being a Canuck the original by Klaatu fills that spot in my tiny brain! Love looking at these!

Karen and Richard could be pretty experimental at times. It’s fun recreating the old surveys and hearing what people listened to at different points in time.
