The 1970s may have yielded some epic disappointments, including Watergate, the gas crisis, and Disco Duck, just to name a few, but the 1970s also delivered some extraordinary delights: The Fonz, leisure suits, Star Wars, Farrah Fawcett and the biggest red, white, and blue celebration the nation has ever known. LIFE: Celebrate the ’70s is a brilliant visit back in time that chronicles and celebrates the so-called “Me Decade” through its unique and lasting cultural mainstays; think disco music, Saturday Night Fever, The Joy of Sex, and never forget the clothes! Featuring a special section devoted to the Bicentennial Year of 1976, with LIFE’s unmatched photography and a sweet, often hilarious narrative, this is a keepsake for anyone who wants to remember the ’70s or experience them for the first time
