1970 wasn’t just the start of a new decade — it was a turning point for R&B.

Soul music slowed down.
Lyrics got deeper.
And records stopped chasing singles… and started telling the truth.

🎶 In this video, we revisit 12 R&B songs from the 1970s (and early ’80s) that didn’t just top charts — they reshaped the sound of modern music.

Some of these records were massive crossover hits.
Others quietly influenced everything that followed.
All of them still echo today.

From Marvin Gaye’s sacred-meets-sensual breakthroughs
to Philadelphia soul confessions, disco’s accidental birth,
and the arrival of a new generation led by Michael Jackson and Luther Vandross —
these songs didn’t just entertain.
They testified.

📀 Featured artists include:
Marvin Gaye • Harold Melvin & the Blue Notes • Bill Withers • Billy Paul
Roberta Flack • The Stylistics • War • The Isley Brothers
Michael Jackson • Luther Vandross

These weren’t just songs playing in the background.
They shaped how people loved, argued, healed, and understood themselves — often before they had the words to explain it.
