It is quite uncommon to find someone who does not like at least some genre of music. This form of art has been in existence since time in memorial. It has social and cultural significance to the society as well as being entertaining. Today, there are many different genres most of which came into existence during one of the most important decades in music. The seventies saw the rise of many legends from Stevie Wonder to Bob Marley. It also saw the production of Hinsons The Lighthouse among other popular hits.
Music from this time was rich in content and spoke of serious issues affecting society at the time. Mature themed songs were common with artistes like Jimi Hendrix producing songs that denounced the war in Vietnam. It touched on real issues and concentrated on originality. Artistes used the art to call out the government and it apparent failures.
There was a rise in different styles each unique to the artiste that created them. This was in an attempt to penetrate the market and sell records. This saw the introduction of disco beats. This sound was different and appealed to young people who liked loud and fast beats. Other sounds included the fusion of country with Pop culture and sounds. Reggae also gained prominence in this decade.
Many artistes and bands faced the challenge of staying relevant and fresh, family bands like the Hinsons performed the same songs and content to audiences. In fact, their hit song the Lighthouse came as a result of the need to have fresh content. Ronny Hinson, songwriter and producer to date, wrote the song in the year nineteen seventy. It was released the following year becoming their signature song.
Music from this era was more mature and calm compared to the rebelliousness and defiance of the sixties. It started with a bang from disco beats and settled into a more relaxed tone. This was because people wanted a change from the fighting that characterized the sixties. The market refused any content that was considered silly and highly commercialized.
This decade produced legends in different genres each going ahead to assume huge fan following. The Hinson gospel group rode on the success of their singles The Lighthouse and He Pilots My Ship. Their popularity saw them tour the country and get excellent record sales.
Creativity was huge in the seventies. It was necessary because there was a lot of competition in the industry for prominence, airplay and record sales. A good example is the crossover of Bob Marley into unchartered Reggae territory. Country artistes like John Denver, Dolly Parton and Kenny Rodgers all crossed over from Pop.
The period was rich in creativity, hits, legendary acts as well as musical styles. It gave equal opportunity to everybody in the industry which resulted in breakthroughs and successes and also record sales. The Hinsons, consisting of siblings, were able to curve out a niche from the market. It rewarded those who had the talent and worked hard at their music.
