Remembering the 70s, Photos From Life in 1979
1979 was an interesting time all around. The ‘70s exploded with a lot of new music no one had heard before, and dance clubs became a huge phenomenon all around the world. Moviegoers discovered some of the talent that would shape their entire lives and even their kids’ lives as well. And the '80s were right around the corner, bringing even flashier colors than those seen in 70s bathroom wallpaper.
Culture shifted at the same time, which meant that there was a lot to try and enjoy, if you were open to it. Here are a selection of photos remembering the best parts of 1979.
