      Best thing about the year 1970 for me is my husband’s birthday in October. His mother was severely epileptic and was told if she ever had a child it would worsen. And it did, but her joy at having my husband made her life extraordinary despite the added hardships from her condition. What’s better than unconditional love to represent the start of the decade🥰

      I wasn't born yet but I've always been fascinated by the years 70 & 71. No clue why. The 60's were marked by more change but maybe American idealism had degraded into something more obviously selfish, fragmented, corporate, and cynical by 70-71'. Maybe???
      The internet has changed us all more significantly since then, but maybe it's just a more concentrated manifestation of that same 70's shift toward fragmentation, corporatism & cynicism. Maybe???

      I was born in March of '71,so my entire childhood was in the 70s. The thing I remember most was waking up earlier on Saturday morning than during the school week, so that I could watch cartoons!! Super Friends, Space Academy, Jason Of Star Command were some of my favorites. Star Wars being released in '77 made a HUGE impact on my young mind and set me on the sci fi loving path that I am still on to this day.
      I consider myself lucky that I was born at the time that I was, because I was a child of the '70s, a teen in the '80s, a young adult in the '90s, and older/mature adult in the 2000's

      It was a great time to be a kid in the 70's !! I wouldn't have wanted to be an adult then. The 80's were way better to be a teen ! Everything after that goes down hill. It just all depends on how old one was during the start of that decade (70"s). If your parents were born in the mid to very late sixties then they would have had a lot of groovy memories. Also location has a lot to do with things. I like your comment.

    Diana Ross left The Supremes that January and scored her first solo #1 hit that year with Ain't No Mountain High Enough, a cover of the Tammi Terrell and Marvin Gaye tune. Tammi Terrell passed away in 1970 ironically as well.

    I believe the seventies had the best talk shows of any decade. The conversations were deep and substantive, something that is quite rare on television today. I wish could I go back in time, sit in front of a vintage television set, and watch Orson Welles reminisce about life.
