People of all ages are commenting. I'm 67 and I love this. Remember that no matter how many years pass by, we are the same souls inside that we were in our 20's.....Don't ever think about growing old. Just be who you are forever. Music is the key and I grew up and traveled thru my life with the best music ever.
@@josephwolfe8771 Yeah me too at 57 and not so good health now, my music, following my dreams I'm more like 100 in life experiences yeah my life has been a blast and Im thankful I lived in a time when ppl weren't so angry, aggressive, violent and hateful........... cooler days man
I'm touching 60. Haven't heard this song since I was a kid. I thought I had the best record collection ever, but I haven't got this song. What a brilliant song!
I was 5 going on 6 wen this came out in early 1978. I remember hearing it repeatedly on the radio growing up in the Caribbean then. I have all that wonderful music on my phone, now.
screwface1011 It reminds me of roller-skating,too,but it also reminds me of seeing Walter Egan when he opened for Heart at Vets Memorial Auditorium in Columbus,Ohio in Autumn 1976-what great memories this song brings back!! You're absolutely right- music is a wonderful time machine!!
Part of my early teens, recently found out that Walter Egan had a massive crush on Stevie Nicks, who I was obsessed with, he had yet to break through in music. She found out when this song got airplay and met and recorded a duet of this with him. What a story huh? ❤
Too right! I haven't heard it for years...late 70's, early 80's. I heard it last week and I can't get it out of my head. Reminds me of courting my wife. Love it.
Walter Egan is a natural showman. I love the way he plays the camera. He is "feeling" his song. And the end result is probably the best one-hit wonder EVER... and his retro sound will make this a timeless hit.
THIS IS A PIC OF MY DAUGHTER.....HOWEVER SHE COULD SING THIS SONG LIKE IT'S HER JOB!!!!! BEING JUST 13 YEARS OLD AND CAN RECOGNIZE GOOD MUSIC......I'M DOING SOMETHING RIGHT!
I'm 37 and fell in love with 70's music when I was a teen. I remember listening to "Magnet And Steel" while my peers were listening to gangsta rap and grunge. Thank you Mr. Egan for creating such an awesome song!
Walter Egan.... Stevie Nick's singing along side....Produced by Fleetwood Mac's Lindsay Buckingham. Love the song. Play it all the time. I play it for my wife of 40 years.
What an amazing gem of a song. Kudos to Paul Thomas Anderson for using it in Boogie Nights and inadvertently introducing it to me. I probably would never have heard it if not for its inclusion in that movie.
A GREAT 1-hit wonder SONG from the 70's that's TIMELESS and will ALWAYS BE a CLASSIC...I LOVE the way it was arranged.w/the music..back-up vocals,beat,and the GROOVE is GREAT!!...this is how me and my wife FEEL about each other after being married for over 20 yrs
This song brings back the good times from the summer of 78 i loved to go back in time !! And I always will wonder what happened to all the kids we meet on the Southside of Indianapolis. Maybe someone we know will see this someday, Steve Bose or Johnny Wright . We sure had alot of fun from the Blizzard of 78 throughout the whole summer. Playing basketball in the rain at 2 in the morning. If you ever see this my fb is Randa Jayne. My little sister was Terri Steve loved her feet.. lol.
I was 15 years old when this song was released. It was the summertime and my days were filled with the smells off fresh cut hay and the perfume of the neighbor girl up the street, I was sure she was the one...I often wonder where she is now. This song is timeless.
In the late 80s, my SuperShuttle driver from LAX to Pasadena was none other than Walter Egan. I invited him into my house at the end of the ride to listen to the 45 that I had of this. He declined, but I was so thankful to him for this song. Such a sweet love song.
jesus. from a hit fleetwood mac song to a shuttle bus driver, and a random passenger dude asking you to listen to your life's highlight in his craptastic living room. surprised he didnt plow that bus right into the LA river. lol
My first concert was Heart with Walt Egan opening. So this artist qualifies as the very first live act I witnessed. They were very good live. I remember they sounded awesome!!!
Memories of youth... Sick w/ bronchitis, I'm traveling down time's highway---late 70's and early 80's. How much of yer expectations were formed by this music, yer attitude towards life. Plato was certainly correct===music is one hell of a teacher......
I was 14 years old when this song was release...and I had for the first time, a strong feeling for a girl...I listen to this song over and over. Walter Egan has made one of the best love songs, ever!
Its funny to realize, as a middle-aged dad of a little girl who I completely adore, that all the romantic crushes and heartaches and flirting and desire of my awkward youth were just nature's way of getting me to create at least one healthy child with a fertile female, raise that child to adulthood, then kindly pass away at my earliest convenience. It's all a glorious scam, folks, but your kid is worth every damn bit of it.
+gumbeet well shes 8 so she aint paying the bills...lol... honestly, 2 or 3 kids would not have worked for me at all, but one is ok. shes smart and bilingual and adorable and almost a friend. we talk about so many things. i'm doing my best to make her a good person. your choice is fine too. i was not a parent til 36 and my life would have been ok either way.
+gumbeet also, ive been to thailand and could go there anytime i want. i could of had your life and if my wife divorces me, i'll be ok as a single but i'll still have a great kid.
I had never heard this fantastic song till the other day, It was not very big in the UK. But now I have found it, I am not letting it go, like a magnet and steel.
I kept hearing this song all the time when I'm in the gym and I always said to myself "I'm going to find that song somewhere". I really love this song and is one of my top 5 favorites ever.
I've probably already commented on this video, but it's definitely in my FOREVER FAVES list... Brings me right back to 8th grade, and all that went on that summer....
I was a kid...my best friend Lee Cox loved this song......have not seen him in forever...love you brother.....pray you have a family and doing well....you was my brother from a different mother.
Always a thrill listening to this Classic Hit of the 70's. After work (PAU HANA), in particular, this song would mellow my daze. ALOHA NUI LOA for posting dis song.
This great song has been stuck in my head for about a week....I could play it around the clock and NEVER get tired of it. Thanks Walter, and Stevie for inspiring it!
Wonder why they only showed her for just a second?? Her voice was very recognizable in that song, and I believed helped guarantee it's success...she should've been on the stage singing backup!
You know what's horrifying? A lot of us were kids when this song came out. I was 11, god, where did the time go?! Why does music today suck so bad? I still listen to it in my car today.
Blastarr, muy cierto, la música de hoy apesta! Ya no hay bandas de este tipo, voy para 70 en marzo 2025. Me encanta esta canción, aunque me da mucha nostalgia, quisiera retroceder el tiempo, pero es imposible! Saludos desde Honduras, Centroamérica! ❤💟
love....... love....... love....... this song ..............from when I was a teenager...............when life was simple and uncomplicated...............was single back then .....and am again......enjoying my freedom and simplistic lifestyle
my awakening was early 80s in a skating rink (no sex. i mean crushes on girls and your heart breaking and that racing heartbeat when the couples skate came on)
I miss the feel good music you would get listening to it. OMG!!!!! what the hell? It makes me want to cry. I am just glad that there are places to hear it.
im only 43 but im so attached to music from the time i was young. I have always adored this one of many from the 70's....but I have to say ole Walt looks a bit creepy. Kind of like a cross between carrot top and the killer from dirty harry........
I am 46, but I identify with the 70s and songs my parent s listened too. And there was not internet or Sirius then, just vinyl and a couple FM stations
I'm 49 and the 70s was the most influential time for me musically as well. And I agree, about Walter Egan...he sorta has the same presence as the creepy transvestite psycho in Silence of the Lambs!
Ok i stand corrected. Stevie Nicks sang on this track, and provided inspiration for the lyrics. Walter Egan was kind enough to tell us about this song: "In 1976 I was living in Pomona, California and I had a notion to write a song with the 'stroll' beat (made famous by Chuck Willis) and so began the rough outline of what was tentatively called 'Don't Turn Away Now.' Now, this was also at the time of putting together my first album, Fundamental Roll, and my two new friends and producers, Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks and I were starting the recording process. On the night when Stevie did the background vocals for my song 'Tunnel o' Love,' my nascent amorous feelings toward her came into a sharper focus - I was smitten by the kitten, as they say. It was on my drive home at 3 AM from Van Nuys to Pomona that I happened to be behind a metal flake blue Continental with ground effects and a diamond window in back. I was inspired by the car's license plate: "Not Shy." By the time I pulled into my driveway I had formulated the lyrics and come up with the magnet metaphor. From there the song was finished in 15 minutes. It was especially satisfying to have Stevie sing on 'Magnet,' since it was about her (and me)." (Thanks to Walter for telling us about this song.
This is great. Thanks for sharing. I love this song and played it almost all day today.... All I wanna know now is: Are they both still alive (Walter and Stevie)? Does he still have feelings for her? Can they get back together? It would really make heart sing if they found love together again. Lol
Stevie Stevie she's everywhere here there.Backing up others with her fine Vocals like Kenny Loggins and John Stewart both superb songs i have.Wherever I Call You Friend and Gold etc

Sue Hepburn I'm just a babe at age 53 but you are so right. If my end comes tomorrow I'll smile and thank God for the ride- I've had a blast.

Wonderful that’s how I feel, I’m 67 now
I'm touching 60. Haven't heard this song since I was a kid. I thought I had the best record collection ever, but I haven't got this song. What a brilliant song!
Pienso igual que todos Esta musica es Inmortal
I’m 25 and I can’t imagine how mesmerising and lovely it must have been to grow up with this music back in the 70s
I was 5 going on 6 wen this came out in early 1978. I remember hearing it repeatedly on the radio growing up in the Caribbean then. I have all that wonderful music on my phone, now.
This song always takes me back to school and the skating rink on Friday nights. Music is the best time machine we have.
She's never written a song with me.
screwface1011 It instantly sent me back to Friday nights in a little Idaho town.
screwface1011 It reminds me of roller-skating,too,but it also reminds me of seeing Walter Egan when he opened for Heart at Vets Memorial Auditorium in Columbus,Ohio in Autumn 1976-what great memories this song brings back!! You're absolutely right- music is a wonderful time machine!!
screwface1011 It takes me back to watching Boogie Nights, so I know exactly how you feel.
You are right
I could put this song on replay and never tire...
Same here.
+Karen Starks totally miss these days
+Tana Stanley Me too!!!
+Tana Stanley holy cow thats what i was doing then seen this comment lol
+Tana Stanley My first True Loves song
Magnet and Steel has to be one of the greatest love songs ever written. At least it is to me. One of those you can listen to over and over. Right
hell yes. I had. a bf for 15 yrs and it defined our relationship. and this was in the 90's. he was the one that got away....this song kicks ass
You're absolutely right. I have loved this song since I was about 18 years old. Am now 50
Part of my early teens, recently found out that Walter Egan had a massive crush on Stevie Nicks, who I was obsessed with, he had yet to break through in music. She found out when this song got airplay and met and recorded a duet of this with him. What a story huh? ❤
Too right! I haven't heard it for years...late 70's, early 80's. I heard it last week and I can't get it out of my head. Reminds me of courting my wife. Love it.
Interestingly, Lindsay Buckingham (Fleetwood Mac), Produced the song, with Stevie Nick's in vocals with Egan! Great song.
This is me in 2024 at 1:40am listening to this song cuz it popped in my head and I came straight to RUclips. Timeless beauty! ❤
I miss that special 70s sound ,Thank you Walter
So do I...
And this is an amazing song❤
You are my magnet and I am steel.
Gosh the oldies are the best music around... EVER!!!! They don't make them like they use too.
true that!
They certainly don't .
I love this song so much I play it over and over
Real music!!
Real bands!
Real lyrics!
Real 'artists'!
Uplifting; never derogatory!
Walter Egan is a natural showman. I love the way he plays the camera. He is "feeling" his song. And the end result is probably the best one-hit wonder EVER... and his retro sound will make this a timeless hit.
wasnt that retro in 78. only 15 yrs from pre beatle invasion times.
Beautiful song that I’m glad I stumbled across as I’m 49 now and haven’t heard this in probably 30 years or so but making up for it now💫😎
Hey i am 57 now, and the song still kicks ass
THIS IS A PIC OF MY DAUGHTER.....HOWEVER SHE COULD SING THIS SONG LIKE IT'S HER JOB!!!!! BEING JUST 13 YEARS OLD AND CAN RECOGNIZE GOOD MUSIC......I'M DOING SOMETHING RIGHT!
My 19 year old daughter likes late 70s and 80s music... :-)
kelci kelckeri YES!!!!! 👍👍👍👍👍 😀😀😀😀😀
You're 58 now and it still is a great tune!
mike Hey what's wrong being 58?This song still gets me 40 years later!lol
I'm 37 and fell in love with 70's music when I was a teen. I remember listening to "Magnet And Steel" while my peers were listening to gangsta rap and grunge. Thank you Mr. Egan for creating such an awesome song!

Gem, is the word I use too.
....and I heard it on Boogie Nights last night too!
I smiled when I heard it in Boogie Nights when I saw it in the theater back in 1997. I bought this 45 when it came out. 99 cents back then!
@@flexiblestrategist9922 BARGAIN!
Was also on Duce Biggolo?
I am 167years old and this song is still the best
still sounds good doesn't it.....
167. wow! that´s pretty good. what is your secret?
Michael James I drink my piss
Lotion Put the lotion on !!
I wish I could live that long, but I can't drink my piss.
A GREAT 1-hit wonder SONG from the 70's that's TIMELESS and will ALWAYS BE a CLASSIC...I LOVE the way it was arranged.w/the music..back-up vocals,beat,and the GROOVE is GREAT!!...this is how me and my wife FEEL about each other after being married for over 20 yrs
John: Here's hoping you and your wife will keep right on dancin' for another 20+ years!
THANKS!!...and God Bless You.
A timeless classic. One of my favorite songs.
to Jenny (RODRIGUEZ) Rulifson 1952-2017 is our song ! Thanks for the incredible memories !
Got to see Walter Egan and Exile in concert in 78 in Hollywood Florida was awesome
I am never tired of listening to this song.I love it
Real love song ❤. Who's listening in 2023?? Melts my heart ❤
Long live the music of the 70's and 80's. Such great music and memories. I love this song...
Actually Stevie Nicks and Lynday Buckingham sang back up vocals on this and Lyndsay also produced the song. Listen closely you can hear him also
Now that is cool information. I think I can hear Stevie there...
That is not Stevie Nicks in the Video though. I'm curious who it is cause she was attractive.
That's Annie McLoone singing backup!
I'll be seeing Annie in a couple weeks at a gig we're doing...
True!
This song brings back the good times from the summer of 78 i loved to go back in time !! And I always will wonder what happened to all the kids we meet on the Southside of Indianapolis.

Playing basketball in the rain at 2 in the morning. If you ever see this my fb is Randa Jayne. My little sister was Terri Steve loved her feet.. lol.
SUCH AN INSANE SONG. CANNOT LISTEN WITHOUT TEARS
I so love Walter and his constant looks at the camera haha. Fantastic pipes!! Very romantic song.
I was 15 years old when this song was released. It was the summertime and my days were filled with the smells off fresh cut hay and the perfume of the neighbor girl up the street, I was sure she was the one...I often wonder where she is now. This song is timeless.
Beautiful song!
WHauww Superrrrr

One of my favorites when I was in High School. It will never grow old.
Thank you for posting.
My first concert was Heart with Walt Egan opening. So this artist qualifies as the very first live act I witnessed. They were very good live. I remember they sounded awesome!!!
That must have been a great concert.....
I saw them together too, in Washington, DC. Great show. So glad people still listen to Walter Egan and Heart.
mine was Foghat with the Hounds as opening act may 1978
How totally MAGIC!
When was that ?
He was my daughter's substitute english teacher last week.
BLESSED
This song breathes - riding a wave of bliss. Stevie had him under a spell for sure. Stunning track.
I'm 37 and I've always loved this song. :)
Born in '69. Remembering hearing this music in the car with my dad taking us camping in the Santa Cruz mountains. How I wish I could go back in time.
This is such a great song in a great time. I smile everytime I hear it. Thank You Walter for this wonderful gem !!
caught Dad singing this to Mum,,,unreal. Dad never sang... with us 6 kids looking on in the lounge watching TV. .1970s
What a lovely memory
Love the harmonising. This song is the summer of ‘78.
one of my fav songs! Im 34 & its still banging in 2024
One of the greatest pop rock songs ever written. Never gets tiring.
Memories of youth... Sick w/ bronchitis, I'm traveling down time's highway---late 70's and early 80's. How much of yer expectations were formed by this music, yer attitude towards life. Plato was certainly correct===music is one hell of a teacher......
I was married for 39 years to my wife this was my dedicitation to her she died 5 months ago I feel so empty,
scotty...sorry for your loss! 😞
so sorry for your loss: hopefully this song will bring comfort with the memories.
scotty stump Iam so Sorry God Bless you
scotty stump So sorry for you loss. It's a terrible feeling.
sorry for your loss, i lost my dear wife of 42 years i know how you feel. god bless you . !!!
tu eres el imán y yo el metal... gracias por existir Walter Egan. bonita musica...
Agrego lo mismo a Stive Nicks.
I was 14 years old when this song was release...and I had for the first time, a strong feeling for a girl...I listen to this song over and over. Walter Egan has made one of the best love songs, ever!
❤I love this at 10 pm. Good Night😊
I love these sexy rock songs of the 70's..to all those pretty faces of my younger years :-)
Bonita canción 🌹hermoso recuerdo 🦋 se nota la influencia de fleetwood Mac ⚡🦋
this was one of my fave songs of the 70s so romantic have the record never tire of hearing it
On an LP in the Aussie summer school hol's,1979.Year 6,and I loved it
man this brings back a flood of memories...crazy time in my life and one girl ...i wish it had worked out..Brenda Chambers i still think of you
Love this song. Takes me back to when it was so much simpler. Miss those days.
I sent this to my fiancée. I am steel(e). she is the magnet . one of the great songs mostly forgotten.
Harvey Steele I'll never forget it my kids love my music.
Its funny to realize, as a middle-aged dad of a little girl who I completely adore, that all the romantic crushes and heartaches and flirting and desire of my awkward youth were just nature's way of getting me to create at least one healthy child with a fertile female, raise that child to adulthood, then kindly pass away at my earliest convenience.

Just can't get enough of this 70's classic soft rocknroll. Thanks for posting brother.
This is such a dreamy song that takes me back in time✨
Now, This is what I call quality rock.
God I so love this song 🎶👌. Wish music nowadays played genuine songs like this
One of the greatest songs ever created!
cyber6sapien you have good taste in music
Omg..wat a beautiful song growing up in d 70s..brings BK beautiful memories of my whole entire families..
I had never heard this fantastic song till the other day, It was not very big in the UK. But now I have found it, I am not letting it go, like a magnet and steel.
brilliant idea! thanks

same story 50 soon ??
I love the quirky facial expressions Walter makes in this video. Plus the song is just one in a million.
I was a kid...my best friend Lee Cox loved this song......have not seen him in forever...love you brother.....pray you have a family and doing well....you was my brother from a different mother.
Always a thrill listening to this Classic Hit of the 70's. After work (PAU HANA), in particular, this song would mellow my daze. ALOHA NUI LOA for posting dis song.
Ah those memories of the late 70s when life was carefree. This song takes me back
Love this song, got that 50's beat, gotta love it !!
This great song has been stuck in my head for about a week....I could play it around the clock and NEVER get tired of it. Thanks Walter, and Stevie for inspiring it!
Love,love,love,this music,,,hav'nt herd it in 4 ever , Thank you,,
2:16 Stevie Nicks and Walter l. Egan sacheing through the line, NICE!! :-D
+raleighman3000 Yeah it is, she wearing her hair in 1950's style
Wonder why they only showed her for just a second?? Her voice was very recognizable in that song, and I believed helped guarantee it's success...she should've been on the stage singing backup!
Who si other woman singing on the stage?
This song came out in 69'...Stevie and Lindsey were Buckingham/Nicks during this time. They didn't join FM for another 5 years!
Lexicon 67 wasnt it late 70's ? Londsey and stevie helped him producing that album
Well, HELL YEA I love this song!
It's as "Badass" as it gets.
You know what's horrifying? A lot of us were kids when this song came out. I was 11, god, where did the time go?!
Why does music today suck so bad? I still listen to it in my car today.
Yeah I agree (sorry so late to the party), I was 12 years old time flies.
Blastarr, muy cierto, la música de hoy apesta!
Ya no hay bandas de este tipo, voy para 70 en marzo 2025.
Me encanta esta canción, aunque me da mucha nostalgia, quisiera retroceder el tiempo, pero es imposible!
Saludos desde Honduras, Centroamérica! ❤💟
Had forgot about this song until I was watching Boogie Nights last night, and heard it again. Love this song!!!
Here I am, a 19 year old listening to this oldie because my dad loves this song and so do I
Can't blame Stevie for this one. It is a timeless sexy song.
there's a girl out there who this song will always be for, no matter where we go.
I love this song never goes old ❤️
The words are so beautiful! My 2 sons know it as well because they heard it in the truck millions of times, growing up. Love! Love! Love..This song!!!
It is a great love song. Thanks for posting it. Great video, too.
"Magnet and Steel" Very cool song!!!!!!!!
it does something to you
Janice Lyons i de el so good with this son is great
he looks like billy corgan back when he had hair. love the groove of this song.
lol You nailed that shit exactly
The Attraction is still strong! Love this song♥!
love....... love....... love....... this song ..............from when I was a teenager...............when life was simple and uncomplicated...............was single back then .....and am again......enjoying my freedom and simplistic lifestyle
This song makes me feel like driving past my old high school at 70!!
born in 68 but i remember skating rinks game rooms drive ins and this song
my awakening was early 80s in a skating rink (no sex. i mean crushes on girls and your heart breaking and that racing heartbeat when the couples skate came on)
+missnumberthirteen :-) Journey, "Open Arms"
Yeah 68' The Summer of Love!!!
Awesome Song !!!! ....& they all can sing and harmonize. Today’s music has none of this
This video is great: '70s nostalgia for the '50s.
I remember this song, but never made the 50's connection.
Andrew Saldana Ok, I must have missed something~what 50's connection are you talking about?
The dancing later in the video.
Lemme watch it again. This time with an emphasis on the dancing.
I think my 8 year old could produce this with the apps on her iPad.
Oh, man.that guitar solo is 70's big time! Love it 👍
I miss the feel good music you would get listening to it. OMG!!!!! what the hell? It makes me want to cry. I am just glad that there are places to hear it.
when I die I hope I go back to the 70s that would be heaven to me lol
cool thought
I want to go to Heaven when I die! But I must say I sure wish we had a time machine I would love to go back to 1978 in a minute
I want to go back to the 70"s too !!!!!
im only 43 but im so attached to music from the time i was young. I have always adored this one of many from the 70's....but I have to say ole Walt looks a bit creepy. Kind of like a cross between carrot top and the killer from dirty harry........
I am 46, but I identify with the 70s and songs my parent s listened too. And there was not internet or Sirius then, just vinyl and a couple FM stations
I'm 49 and the 70s was the most influential time for me musically as well. And I agree, about Walter Egan...he sorta has the same presence as the creepy transvestite psycho in Silence of the Lambs!
Lexicon 67 I cant say influential, just peaceful sense, even in the hard edged music. Todays music is more...shock value.
Scott Grimes I meant the influence the music had on me personally.
lmao Steve
I love this song its so romantic!!! 70s were the best
drove across the country late august early sept 1978. heard this on the radio there and back !! great make out song too!
Gotta love the 70's! Best decade for music!
Ok i stand corrected.
Stevie Nicks sang on this track, and provided inspiration for the lyrics. Walter Egan was kind enough to tell us about this song:
"In 1976 I was living in Pomona, California and I had a notion to write a song with the 'stroll' beat (made famous by Chuck Willis) and so began the rough outline of what was tentatively called 'Don't Turn Away Now.' Now, this was also at the time of putting together my first album, Fundamental Roll, and my two new friends and producers, Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks and I were starting the recording process.
On the night when Stevie did the background vocals for my song 'Tunnel o' Love,' my nascent amorous feelings toward her came into a sharper focus - I was smitten by the kitten, as they say. It was on my drive home at 3 AM from Van Nuys to Pomona that I happened to be behind a metal flake blue Continental with ground effects and a diamond window in back. I was inspired by the car's license plate: "Not Shy."
By the time I pulled into my driveway I had formulated the lyrics and come up with the magnet metaphor. From there the song was finished in 15 minutes.
It was especially satisfying to have Stevie sing on 'Magnet,' since it was about her (and me)." (Thanks to Walter for telling us about this song.
Awwww your post is cut off! :(
This is great. Thanks for sharing. I love this song and played it almost all day today....
All I wanna know now is:
Are they both still alive (Walter and Stevie)?
Does he still have feelings for her?
Can they get back together?
It would really make heart sing if they found love together again. Lol
Who here from 2024 tap in

this video captures well the gaudy and very jaded feeling of the late 70s.
