The Beat Goes On: The '70s

GENINT 731.517

Osher (50+). In this course, we take an in-depth look at the music of the 1970s.

About this course:

In the decade of the seventies, the ever-expanding music business was earning more money than the movie industry. The singer/songwriters were selling millions of records, but that was just a part of what was happening. In this course, we explore the highlights from the soft rock music of The Carpenters to the punk rock music of The Talking Heads, and from the disco sounds of The Bee Gees to the great soul music from Philadelphia. While there may be too much music to pack into seven weeks, we’ll get to hear most of the soundtrack of the 1970s. This course uses the Hybrid format which allows students to participate remotely and/or in the classroom. This course will be recorded. Students will have access to videos for the duration of the course.
