Sum up the 1970s in one photo

This one even if it was released in April 1980

Captures both the hippy and disco looks for both halves of the decade

 

Saturday Night Fever Soundtrack

 

Judy Collins looking gorgeous in a field of flowers. 1967 but this image is so early '70s for me.

 

Or one might say: Judy Collins looking a bit like James Taylor in a field of gorgeous flowers.

 

I see a saw and a bell hop bell lying on the floor. This must have been a recording session for the first or second album???

 

LOL I was so trying to figure out who she reminded me of.

 

At the risk of being a bit insensitive, the 5 O'Clock shadow is not a great look for her.

 

Now that is my 70's right there.

 

Almost went with that before settling on the post I put right above yours that I thought got both halves of the decade

 

Hairy arsed blokes being camp

 

I nominate the cover of Carly Simon's "No Secrets."

So much going on here. To bad the guy in green must have asthma or something...having to use his inhaler

 

I think that is a foot switch.

I think they're at Village Recorder in Santa Monica - same day as the photo that's on the back of Countdown To Ecstasy.

I have to go with this too.
A brilliant choice sir!

that elusive moment of an everyday-life that says more than the famous people of the time.

 

Is that a rogue hand on the controls?

 

Lou, Mick and Dave. A little messed up and just a little in love

 

Sorry ya'll, I prefer my 1970's with a little more soul
