In an era when Top 40 embraced rock music, these artists surprisingly never achieved a pop hit in America, including many Rock Hall members.

As 1970 was ushered in, few could have imagined where we were headed next. There weren’t many signs at the start of the decade.

The landmark 1995 series has been restored and remastered in celebration of its 30th anniversary with updated releases on screen, as music collections and in print.

A memorable year in music was coming to a close with songs that remain popular decades later. Enjoy the hits from Gladys Knight, Johnny Rivers, The Beatles and more.

The collection includes all of the band’s hit singles released on the Colgems label between 1966 and 1970.

It’s a classic scene from a landmark ’60s film, and a rare look at that brief moment when Jeff Beck and Jimmy Page were in the same band.
