Delves into the importance of this music to our revolution. Love's Theme by the Love Unlimited Orchestra was the record that forced radio to play our music which was considered underground and not quite right for popular tastes. Lots of interesting tidbits and background on the who, what and where of the late 70's craze.

Excellent documentary series- as someone who was deeply involved with the loft and other underground parties i can attest that this is pretty accurate
