For the Record: The 70s

Ep. 18 - Take This Job and Shove It: 70s Work and Music


Listen Later

The 70s was a tumultuous time for labor. In 1970, even postal workers went on strike. Music of the 70s reflected how workers felt about unions, jobs, and the struggle to get ahead. Not confined to one genre, rockers such as Bob Seger and Tom Petty, country artists such as Johnny Paycheck and Dolly Parton, and disco stars including the Bee Gees and Rose Royce all had hits about working in the 70s. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/amy-lively/message
