OCTOBER 1970. The war was still raging in Vietnam. Richard Nixon was in the White House and the Watergate was still just the name of a high-rise residential hotel in Washington, D.C.

Thomas' ‘Raindrops Keep Fallin On My Head’, the Jackson Five's ‘I Want You Back’, Shocking Blue's ‘Venus’, Sly's ‘Thank You,’ Simon & Garfunkel's ‘Bridge Over Troubled Water’, Ray Stevens’ ‘Everything Is Beautiful’.
