Abstract
:
This project is to show the lasting impact of music in 1970s movie classics. The 70s was a decade that saw a lot of cultural change and technological innovation. Music played a big part in these new experiences such as: Grease, Saturday Night Fever and the dawn of the Star Wars empire. Music began to push the limits of modern day music lyrically with more talk of sex and drugs which had not really been done before the 70s music era.
