Art Quote by Anne Murray
“There are a lot of middle of the road artists of the '70s, who aren't being played anyplace. I think it's unfortunate in a way, because it stifles you sort of, you don't get to as many people but I've had a long and wonderful career, I have no complaints.”

![“One of the main things that differentiates them [artists of 70s] from artists before is that they made albums based on the fact that they didn't care about the band as a thing in its own right. They cared about manipulating the recording and that became the album.” quote by DJ Spooky](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/e8a/dj-spooky-8230_albums_one-of-the-main-things-that-differentiat_2081597.jpg)
