In the 1970s, not only did Europe seize a sizable chunk out of the American recording industry. Europe were now a much more the driving force; it had taken over control of the recording industry for the first time in the 60's and 70's which were the most successful productive years for the recording companies. Throughout the 60's and 70's we had the best years of music production in all forms of music genre. 70's also brought about the study of comparative harmonious melody of music by anthropologist and musicologists. |
