June 25 – 1974:
Dolly Parton made perhaps her best album, which featured two of her greatest songs. Stevie Wonder wrote probably his most political song yet, and wrote a song for the band Rufus. Barry White pulled double duty with his Love Unlimited Orchestra and his own music, Joni Mitchell recorded her most successful album of her long and storied career, and Bob Dylan recorded his final album with the band and stayed “Forever Young.” The Rolling Stones proclaimed, “It’s Only Rock and Roll” & “they still liked it!”, and Bonnie Raitt brought an old John Prine song to the masses.
Outside the world of music, Richard Nixon became the first president to resign from office, Happy Days began its eleven-year run, and there was laughter at movie theatres with films like Blazing Saddles & Young Frankenstein.
