Musicians Stepped out of the “Black” realm
It was a very BOLD period in music where black musicians tried anything. Barry White had an orchestra which was unheard of. Isaac Hayes has 18 minutes songs on his albums and some of his biggest hits were rehashed and remade. I Stand Accused is a must hear, (originally recorded by Jerry Butler). By the Time I get to Phoenix and Never Can Say Goodbye were all recorded by other artists (Glen Campbell and The Jackson Five). War was huge topic in Black music during the Nixon era and Viet Nam.
