20 Photos Remembering How Life Peaked in 1979
1979 wasn't a great year if you look at international politics or the economy, but it was pretty great in most other areas. Disco music was thriving, and the Bee Gees were at the top of the charts, iconic movies came out to show things people didn't know could happen on a screen, and TV was airing some of the classics we still talk about today.
