Ep. 28 - Soundtracks of the 70s
Movie soundtracks got better in the 70s as the creation of soundtracks became more intentional. Rather than simply compiling songs for an album and calling it a soundtrack, producers hired artists to create music that offered commentary and enhanced our understanding of characters. Soundtracks ranging from "Super Fly" to "Saturday Night Fever" were as successful if not more so than the movies they supported. With movies being such an important part of many of our lives, creating space for music to be a partner in the journey offered by movies enriches the experience which is, after all, the point of music.
