Music of the 1960s was characteristic of the revolution that was going on during the decade. It was a time of rebellion and counter-culture in which the younger people were questioning everything, including authority, corporations, the government, and other aspects of everyday life. It was essentially a revolution of the status quo. This gave rise to the Civil Rights Movement of the decade along with other movements that affected the rights of society as a whole. 

As the 60s came to an end and the decade of the 70s started up, the Vietnam War was in full swing, the killing of students at Kent State just took place, and all this tension in the country found its way into the music. Edwin Starr's single "War", Neil Young's song "Ohio", and Freda Payne's "Bring The Boys Home" were all examples of the anti-war movement showing up on the 70s pop music charts.

Motown Records was a major player in the 70s R&B music scene. Started in 1959, the record company produced over 100 top ten hits in the 60s. The carried on this tradition in the 1970s with artists such as the Jackson 5, Marvin Gaye, Diana Ross, Stevie Wonder, and The Commodores all reaching the top of the 70s pop music charts
