Book Description

July 17, 2000
The late '70s brought us an eclectic mix of popular music -everything from big hits (and even bigger hair) to cult favorites, along with the dawn of disco and punk, the coming of corporate rock, the rise of reggae and new wave, and some of the most progressive, inventive songwriting of the century.

Whether you cranked up your radio for Bruce Springsteen, Stevie Wonder, Supertramp, the Bee Gees, Talking Heads, Rickie Lee Jones, or Earth, Wind and Fire, you'll relive those heady days with this compulsively readable, behind-the-scenes account of the "Frampton years," an era when pop became very big business. It's all here, from ABBA to Zevon. This feisty, funny volume will leave pop fans of every stripe feeling Reunited, Afternoon Delight-ed, and Still Crazy After All These Years.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Look at the Late 70's, January 22, 2002
This review is from: Night Moves: Pop Music in the Late '70s (Paperback)
Canadian brothers Don & Jeff Breithaupt examine the last five years of the 70's music scene in Night Moves. Just like their first 70's book, Precious & Few, each chapter is broken up to cover a certain type of music like punk, new wave & disco or examine a particular artist like Bruce Springsteen. The chapter heading lists essential songs from the subject. The brothers interject personal accounts into the stories that make for a nice touch. The book is a quick, easy and completely enjoyable read and together with Precious & Few offers a reverential and sunny look at the 70's.

2.0 out of 5 stars As light as air, September 30, 2006
By 
Fishbonealice (Belfast, California) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Night Moves: Pop Music in the Late '70s (Paperback)
A light and undemanding read. Little more than a list of the hits of the late '70s with some specious analysis that is as shallow as a puddle. Not unentertaining, maybe good for a short flight or train journey.
