Ang dekada 70 ang pinakamakulay na dekada hindi lamang sa buong mundo kundi maging dito sa Pilipinas. Ang sampung taon (katumbas ng isang dekada) naging saksi ako sa mga pagbabago na tinangkilik ng mga Pinoy. Hindi lamang sa moda, pananalita, pananaw sa buhay at higit sa lahat sa impluwensiya ng musika na dala ng mga musikerong banyaga. Kasama ako sa mga angaw-angaw na naa-aliw ng mga usong ito. Sa kategorya ng musika buong kasabikan namin inaabangan ang parangal sa musika. (isa na rito ang The Grammys) Narito ang ilan sa mga talaan ng mga nagwagi...CATEGORY: MUSIC
