Arts and Culture

Time Machine from The Current

June 17 – 1970s Funk and Soul

  • We have a special show for you. June is Black Music Month and Juneteenth is coming up. So, for this installment the Time Machine makes a stop in the 1970’s. I’ll feature some vintage funk and soul tunes from the decade that brought us Sly and the Family Stone, who had their biggest hit of all, The Staple Singers had a hopeful message. James Brown continued to bring the funk. Marvin Gaye made an album for the ages that still rings loud and true. Stevie Wonder was in his classic era, and was probably the most prolific musician of the 70s. Roberta Flack won her 1st Grammy for a song later recorded by Fugees. Billy Preston released one of the big instrumentals of the decade.
  • Beyond the world of music: On TV, shows like Sanford and Son and Good Times debuted. Hammerin Hank Aaron hit home run #715 to break Babe Ruth’s all-time home run record. It’s all 1970’s funk and soul on this episode of Time Machine from the Current.
