Feelin’ groovy? Step into those clogs and let’s pay 1970 a visit. Here’s the happenings…
- Biggest film of the year? Love Story (and the reason there are so many GenX Jennifers)
- Diana Ross and the Supremes performed for the last time together as a group in January
- The AMC Gremlin – gotta love that car name – premiered in April.
Get back into the mood (without your mood ring) with one of these books, all on the New York Times Best Sellers List for the week of February 15, 1970. Can you dig?
