I grew up on 1970s music. Not just the hits, but the deeper songs and storytellers that shaped an entire generation. As I’ve gotten older, I’ve realized how much those artists still matter — and how much their stories deserve to be revisited with honesty and clarity. That’s why I created 70s Music Wisdoms and why I write as Howard Dee: to break down the songs, the moments, and the artists that made the 1970s the greatest decade in music.
