Free To Be You And Me
If you were a kid in the 1970s, or if you raised kids during that decade, you might have spent time with Free To Be... You And Me. The seminal album and popular television special was jam-packed with catchy songs, but also contained very progressive messages about gender roles, feminism, tolerance and how it's not always easy being a kid.
Today, we revisit some of our favorite moments from Soundcheck's three-part series marking the 40th anniversary of the record.
