California Pop: The '70s
Apple Music
The California music scene of the '70s was a hotbed of musical diversity. The softer side of the decade saw chart-topping folk rock by James Taylor and Carole King as well as hits from Al Wilson—later taken to heart by the UK's Northern Soul faithful—and quiet storm classics by Roberta Flack. Together, these songs paint a picture of classic American pop in celebration of its songwriters.
