Today we celebrate the "Rock" of the '70s. On April 28th, 1978, the movie FM, about a radio station with a motley collection of DJs was released in the US. Linda Ronstadt, Jimmy Buffett and REO Speedwagon all appeared in the film. The theme song from the movie Steely Dan's 'FM (No Static at All)' won the 1979 Grammy Award for Best Engineered Recording.
We're stoked to bring you a decade with a language all its own! You could even argue the '70s gave birth to the concept of the music sub-genre. From Fusion and Disco to Glam and SoCal Rock, dig it all on these channels.
Fifty-two years ago, the legendary label Philadelphia International Records was founded by Kenny Gamble and Leon Huff. As our celebration of the '70s continues, we shine the spotlight on Soul.
We start our first date with the 1970s on a channel that gives you the big picture, and the biggest hits! Plus, a collection of channels from year one (1970) when the decade was just getting to know itself. This week on Throwback Thursday, we board the "AccuRadio Time Machine" for 1978.
