If you haven’t been to our Spirit of 77 home page, we have a Spotify player on the front page that allows people to hear some selected cuts from 70’s pop music – from funk to country to rock. However, we understand not everybody has access to Spotify due to their location (most notably our friends in Canada), who have asked for some recommendations on what would be appropriate music.
