This is a timeline of music in the United States from 1970 to the present. ==1970== *Diana Ross leaves the Supremes, considered to be the most successful and influential girl group of all time, to embark upon a solo career after her final performance with the group on January 14, 1970 in Las Vegas, Nevada. *Armadillo World Headquarters opens in Austin, Texas. It will become a major venue for the music of Austin, especially the local country scene.〔Malone and Stricklin, pg. 140〕〔Lewis, pg. 60〕 *Black Sabbath's ''Black Sabbath'' and ''Paranoid'' codify the genre later known as heavy metal music; though Black Sabbath is British, heavy metal will become an important American phenomenon in the next decade.〔 *Charlie Gillett's ''The Sound of the City'' is the first comprehensive history of R&B and rock.〔 *Growing Latino "political unrest and cultural awakening" manifests in musical expression, especially in the formation of a group called El Chicano, who had a major hit with "Viva Tirado". "Viva Tirado" becomes the "first single to attain positions in all popular music categories except country and western".〔 *Francis Grasso opens the ''Sanctuary'', the first "notoriously gay discothèque" in the country in the New York club scene; he innovates a technique called ''disco blending'', which allows for uninterrupted dancing, laying the groundwork for disco music.〔 *Miles Davis' ''Bitches Brew'' is an important part of the origin of jazz-rock.〔Southern, pg. 499〕 *Haitian performers with ''mini-djaz'' bands touring the United States begin deserting to settle in Miami and other cities, establishing a number of local Haitian music scenes.〔 *Nosotros, a Hollywood trade association for Latino entertainers, inaugurates what will become known as the Golden Eagle Awards, for Latino musicians.〔 *The works of Scott Joplin become the basis for a ragtime revival,〔Crawford, pg. 545〕 inspired in large part by ''The Complete Piano Works of Scott Joplin'', a recording by John W. Parker, and ''Scott Joplin: Piano Rags'', a recording by Joshua Rifkin. Eubie Blake becomes the only ragtime pianist to ever record one of his own pieces, "Charleston Rag" (written in 1921).〔Chase, pgs. 424–426〕 *The case ''Sinatra v. Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co.'', though ultimately unsuccessful, contends for the first time that the use of a performer to imitate a different performer - in this case, Nancy Sinatra - could constitute the tort of passing off. *Jamaican musician U-Roy becomes the first to record rhythmic speech over dubs, which is the direct ancestor of rapping, one of the elements of hip hop culture. *Louis Wayne Ballard becomes the Director of Music Programs for the Bureau of Indian Affairs. He will be the first Native American to create educational materials on Native American music.〔Levine, pg. xxiv〕 *The Stooges begin performing, becoming known for making physical contact with the crowd, one of the reasons they are considered an important predecessor of punk rock and hardcore.〔Blush, pg. 209〕 *The first digital synthesizers are created. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Timeline of music in the United States (1970–present)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
