At the beginning of the decade, the <a href="/wiki/Nashville_sound" title="Nashville sound">countrypolitan</a> — an offshoot of the earlier "Nashville Sound" of the late 1950s and early 1960s — and the honky-tonk fused <a href="/wiki/Bakersfield_Sound" class="mw-redirect" title="Bakersfield Sound">Bakersfield Sound</a> were some of the more popular styles. </p><p>The countrypolitan sound — a polished, streamlined sound featuring string sections, background vocals and crooning lead vocalists — was popularized by artists including <a href="/wiki/Lynn_Anderson" title="Lynn Anderson">Lynn Anderson</a>, <a href="/wiki/Glen_Campbell" title="Glen Campbell">Glen Campbell</a>, <a href="/wiki/Anne_Murray" title="Anne Murray">Anne Murray</a>, <a href="/wiki/Dottie_West" title="Dottie West">Dottie West</a>, <a href="/wiki/Tammy_Wynette" title="Tammy Wynette">Tammy Wynette</a>, and others, achieving their successes through such songs as "<a href="/wiki/Rose_Garden_(Lynn_Anderson_song)" class="mw-redirect" title="Rose Garden (Lynn Anderson song)">(I Never Promised You a) Rose Garden</a>", "<a href="/wiki/Snowbird_(song)" title="Snowbird (song)">Snowbird</a>", and others. The Bakersfield sound, first popularized in the early 1960s, continued its peak in popularity through artists such as <a href="/wiki/Buck_Owens" title="Buck Owens">Buck Owens</a> and <a href="/wiki/Merle_Haggard" title="Merle Haggard">Merle Haggard</a>. </p><p>But other styles began to emerge during the 1970s. One of the more successful styles was "<a href="/wiki/Outlaw_country" title="Outlaw country">outlaw country</a>", a type of music blending the traditional and honky tonk sounds of country music with <a href="/wiki/Rock_music" title="Rock music">rock</a> and <a href="/wiki/Blues" title="Blues">blues music</a>, and mixed with the anger of an alienated subculture of the nation during the period. The leaders of the movement were <a href="/wiki/Waylon_Jennings" title="Waylon Jennings">Waylon Jennings</a> and <a href="/wiki/Willie_Nelson" title="Willie Nelson">Willie Nelson</a>, although others associated with the movement were <a href="/wiki/Jerry_Jeff_Walker" title="Jerry Jeff Walker">Jerry Jeff Walker</a>, <a href="/wiki/David_Allan_Coe" title="David Allan Coe">David Allan Coe</a>, <a href="/wiki/Jessi_Colter" title="Jessi Colter">Jessi Colter</a>, <a href="/wiki/Tompall_Glaser" title="Tompall Glaser">Tompall Glaser</a>, <a href="/wiki/Gary_Stewart_(singer)" title="Gary Stewart (singer)">Gary Stewart</a>, and <a href="/wiki/Billy_Joe_Shaver" title="Billy Joe Shaver">Billy Joe Shaver</a>. The efforts of Jennings, Nelson, Colter, and Glaser were encapsulated in the 1976 album <i><a href="/wiki/Wanted!_The_Outlaws" title="Wanted! The Outlaws">Wanted! The Outlaws</a></i>. </p><p>The 1970s saw the rise of country music groups. The most successful act by far during the first half of the decade was <a href="/wiki/The_Statler_Brothers" title="The Statler Brothers">The Statler Brothers</a>, a Stanton, Virginia-based group that had gotten its start performing with Johnny Cash in the 1960s. The group – several years removed from their 1965 hit "<a href="/wiki/Flowers_on_the_Wall" title="Flowers on the Wall">Flowers on the Wall</a>" – successfully used their vocal harmonies on songs including "Bed Of Rose's," "Do You Remember These," "The Class of '57," "I'll Go To My Grave Loving You," and "Do You Know You Are My Sunshine." Until 1977, the Statlers – who in the 1970s had brothers Harold and Don Reid, Phil Balsley, and Lew DeWitt – were the only group to achieve sustained success; that year, the Oak Ridge Boys, a country gospel group, switched to a country-pop direction, and their first single release, "Y'all Come Back Saloon," was a top-5 hit on the country chart; their lineup in the late 1970s was Duane Allen, Joe Bonsall, William Lee Golden, and Richard Sterban. Both groups remained firmly committed to gospel music, but it was with country-pop that they had their most success and the rise in country groups began to take shape. In 1979, a third group – the Fort Payne-based band <a href="/wiki/Alabama_(band)" title="Alabama (band)">Alabama</a>, the core being cousins Randy Owen, Teddy Gentry, and Jeff Cook, along with drummer Mark Herndon – emerged, releasing the mellow love ballad "<a href="/wiki/I_Wanna_Come_Over" title="I Wanna Come Over">I Wanna Come Over</a>"; although only reaching the mid-30s on the country chart, "... Over" was a foreshadowing of what was to come for one of the most successful country music groups/bands of all time, with their blend of soft rock and Southern rock (which would be featured on their next single, "My Home's In Alabama," recorded in 1979 and released in January 1980). </p> <figure class="mw-halign-left" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Charlie_Rich_1973.JPG" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/9/97/Charlie_Rich_1973.JPG/200px-Charlie_Rich_1973.JPG" decoding="async" width="200" height="232" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/9/97/Charlie_Rich_1973.JPG/300px-Charlie_Rich_1973.JPG 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/9/97/Charlie_Rich_1973.JPG/400px-Charlie_Rich_1973.JPG 2x" data-file-width="736" data-file-height="853" /></a><figcaption><a href="/wiki/Charlie_Rich" title="Charlie Rich">Charlie Rich</a></figcaption></figure> <p>The <a href="/wiki/Country_pop" title="Country pop">country pop</a> sound was a successor to the countrypolitan sound of the early 1970s.

The debate continued into 1975, a year where six songs reached No. 1 on both the <a href="/wiki/Hot_Country_Songs" title="Hot Country Songs"><i>Billboard</i> Hot Country Singles</a> and <a href="/wiki/Billboard_Hot_100" title="Billboard Hot 100"><i>Billboard</i> Hot 100</a> charts. Things came to a head when, at that year's CMA Awards, Rich — the reigning Entertainer of the Year, and himself a crossover artist — presented the award to his successor, "my good friend, Mr. John Denver." His statement, taken as sarcasm, and his setting fire to the envelope (containing Denver's name) with a cigarette lighter were taken as a protest against the increasing pop style in country music (this despite Rich himself having made his name with songs that crossed over from country into the pop and adult contemporary charts). </p><p><br /> By the later half of the 1970s, <a href="/wiki/Dolly_Parton" title="Dolly Parton">Dolly Parton</a>, a highly successful traditional-minded country artist since the late 1960s, mounted a high-profile campaign to crossover to pop music, culminating in her 1977 hit "<a href="/wiki/Here_You_Come_Again_(song)" title="Here You Come Again (song)">Here You Come Again</a>", which peaked at No. 1 country and No. 3 pop. Of her 25 career No. 1 hits, 11 of them came during the 1970s. Parton, also became the female country music artist to host her own variety show, <i><a href="/wiki/Dolly!" class="mw-redirect" title="Dolly!">Dolly!</a>,</i> which aired during the 1976–77 season. Rogers, the former lead singer of <a href="/wiki/The_First_Edition_(band)" class="mw-redirect" title="The First Edition (band)">The First Edition</a>, followed up a successful career in pop, rock, and folk music by switching to country music. Like Parton, whom he would record with in the 1980s and thereafter, Rogers enjoyed a long series of successful songs that charted on both the Hot Country Singles and Billboard Hot 100 charts; the first of the lot was "<a href="/wiki/Lucille_(Kenny_Rogers_song)" title="Lucille (Kenny Rogers song)">Lucille</a>," a No. 1 country and No. 5 pop hit. <a href="/wiki/Crystal_Gayle" title="Crystal Gayle">Crystal Gayle</a>, <a href="/wiki/Ronnie_Milsap" title="Ronnie Milsap">Ronnie Milsap</a>, <a href="/wiki/Eddie_Rabbitt" title="Eddie Rabbitt">Eddie Rabbitt</a>, and <a href="/wiki/Linda_Ronstadt" title="Linda Ronstadt">Linda Ronstadt</a> were some of the other artists who also found success on both the country and pop charts with their records as well. </p> <figure class="mw-halign-left" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Loretta_Lynn_SXSW_2016_-8842_(33197871691).jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/b/bf/Loretta_Lynn_SXSW_2016_-8842_%2833197871691%29.jpg/200px-Loretta_Lynn_SXSW_2016_-8842_%2833197871691%29.jpg" decoding="async" width="200" height="300" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/b/bf/Loretta_Lynn_SXSW_2016_-8842_%2833197871691%29.jpg/300px-Loretta_Lynn_SXSW_2016_-8842_%2833197871691%29.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/b/bf/Loretta_Lynn_SXSW_2016_-8842_%2833197871691%29.jpg/400px-Loretta_Lynn_SXSW_2016_-8842_%2833197871691%29.jpg 2x" data-file-width="3173" data-file-height="4759" /></a><figcaption><a href="/wiki/Loretta_Lynn" title="Loretta Lynn">Loretta Lynn</a></figcaption></figure> <p>The most successful of the female artist in the 1970s was <a href="/wiki/Loretta_Lynn" title="Loretta Lynn">Loretta Lynn</a>, releasing her best selling album <i><a href="/wiki/Coal_Miner%27s_Daughter_(album)" title="Coal Miner's Daughter (album)">Coal Miner's Daughter</a></i> in 1970. She gained a total of seven number one albums, and 20 number one hit singles including her biggest hit single, 1970s "Coal Miner's Daughter," which went on to sell more than 500,000 copies to date. Several of Lynn's siblings gained national recording contracts, and it was her youngest sister, Crystal Gayle (born Brenda Gail Webb), who would become by far the most successful. Although she has recorded and/or performed traditional country, Gayle's primary style was country pop, and by forging her own path rather than mimicking her famous sister's style, she had several tremendously successful songs, most notably "<a href="/wiki/Don%27t_It_Make_My_Brown_Eyes_Blue" title="Don't It Make My Brown Eyes Blue">Don't It Make My Brown Eyes Blue</a>." Lynn also recorded with <a href="/wiki/Conway_Twitty" title="Conway Twitty">Conway Twitty</a> multiple times during the 1970s, and had five No. 1 singles together, including "<a href="/wiki/After_the_Fire_Is_Gone" title="After the Fire Is Gone">After the Fire Is Gone</a>."

Married in 1968, the two had their first duet hit together in 1972 with "Take Me" (a remake of Jones' 1965 solo hit), and went on to have three No. 1 hits together. The two went through an acrimonious divorce in 1975, due in part to Jones' increasingly erratic behavior worsened by substance abuse problems, but the two did continue recording together afterward, releasing their most successful hit, the ironic "<a href="/wiki/Golden_Ring_(song)" title="Golden Ring (song)">Golden Ring</a>" (a song about how a wedding ring is meaningless without true love) in 1976. As a solo artist, Jones continued to maintain his hold as the premiere honky-tonk artist of the genre, recording songs of broken relationships ("<a href="/wiki/The_Grand_Tour_(song)" title="The Grand Tour (song)">The Grand Tour</a>," "<a href="/wiki/The_Door_(George_Jones_song)" title="The Door (George Jones song)">The Door</a>", and "<a href="/wiki/Her_Name_Is" title="Her Name Is">Her Name Is</a>") and bitterness ("These Days I Barely Get By"), but the aforementioned substance abuse and behavioral issues restrained his own success and by the end of the decade, his life was wildly out of control. Wynette, meanwhile, remarried to producer and songwriter <a href="/wiki/George_Richey" title="George Richey">George Richey</a>, and continued to perform songs in her signature style, alternating between heartbreak and marital difficulty to loyalty and fidelity. Although she would have health and legal issues of her own, Wynette remained highly successful, achieving 10 of her 16 solo number one hits during the 1970s, including "<a href="/wiki/%27Til_I_Get_It_Right" title="'Til I Get It Right">'Til I Get It Right</a>," "<a href="/wiki/Another_Lonely_Song" title="Another Lonely Song">Another Lonely Song</a>", and "<a href="/wiki/%27Til_I_Can_Make_It_on_My_Own" title="'Til I Can Make It on My Own">'Til I Can Make It on My Own</a>." </p><p>The 1970s continued a trend toward a proliferation of No. 1 hits on the <i>Billboard</i> Hot Country Singles chart. In 1970, there were 23 songs that reached the top spot on the chart, but by the mid-1970s, more than 40 titles rotated in and out of the top spot for the first time in history. The trend temporarily reversed itself by the late 1970s, when about 30 to 35 songs reached the pinnacle position of the chart annually. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading4"><h4 id="Country_rock_and_Southern_rock">Country rock and Southern rock</h4><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=1970s_in_music&action=edit&section=20" title="Edit section: Country rock and Southern rock"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <figure class="mw-halign-right" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Eagles.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/0/00/Eagles.jpg/170px-Eagles.jpg" decoding="async" width="170" height="113" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/0/00/Eagles.jpg/255px-Eagles.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/0/00/Eagles.jpg/340px-Eagles.jpg 2x" data-file-width="1000" data-file-height="667" /></a><figcaption><a href="/wiki/Eagles_(band)" title="Eagles (band)">The Eagles</a></figcaption></figure> <figure class="mw-halign-left" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:John_Denver_1975.JPG" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/b/b0/John_Denver_1975.JPG/200px-John_Denver_1975.JPG" decoding="async" width="200" height="263" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/b/b0/John_Denver_1975.JPG/300px-John_Denver_1975.JPG 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/b/b0/John_Denver_1975.JPG/400px-John_Denver_1975.JPG 2x" data-file-width="958" data-file-height="1260" /></a><figcaption><a href="/wiki/John_Denver" title="John Denver">John Denver</a>, 1975</figcaption></figure> <p><a href="/wiki/Country_rock" title="Country rock">Country rock</a>, a subgenre of country music formed from the fusion of <a href="/wiki/Rock_music" title="Rock music">rock music</a> with <a href="/wiki/Country_music" title="Country music">country music</a>, gained its greatest commercial success in the 1970s, beginning with non-country artists such as <a href="/wiki/Bob_Dylan" title="Bob Dylan">Bob Dylan</a>, <a href="/wiki/Gram_Parsons" title="Gram Parsons">Gram Parsons</a>, and <a href="/wiki/The_Byrds" title="The Byrds">The Byrds</a>.

By the mid-1970s, several career- and life-changing events shaped his future. He began recording and performing with recording artists including Waylon Jennings, Johnny Cash, and Charlie Daniels, and recorded a Southern rock-heavy album showcasing his new style called <i><a href="/wiki/Hank_Williams_Jr._and_Friends" title="Hank Williams Jr. and Friends">Hank Williams Jr. and Friends</a></i>.

Aside from the chart-topping "How Can You Mend a Broken Heart" in 1971, the brothers did not make much impact in the US during the first half of the decade and most of their record sales were in Europe, especially on the continent.

The musical film <i>Saturday Night Fever</i> (1977) finally propelled the Bee Gees to global superstar status with "<a href="/wiki/Stayin%27_Alive" title="Stayin' Alive">Stayin' Alive</a>", "<a href="/wiki/More_Than_a_Woman_(Bee_Gees_song)" title="More Than a Woman (Bee Gees song)">More Than a Woman</a>", and "<a href="/wiki/Night_Fever" title="Night Fever">Night Fever</a>" (from the <i><a href="/wiki/Saturday_Night_Fever" title="Saturday Night Fever">Saturday Night Fever</a></i> soundtrack).
