Yeah, it's pretty much all about having a marketable image nowadays. This is really noticeable when watching those late night Time Life commercials when they are selling "Hits of the '70s" and they show clips of the singers and bands. Some of 'em are kinda funny looking, to put it mildly. A lot of them wouldn't stand a chance in today's market--instead they'd be behind-the-scenes writing the songs for someone else.
I can remember some of the songs, but not the artist. My work internet is pretty restrictive. I can remember Terry Jacks featured heavily on those Time Life commercials. He had the song, "Seasons in the Sun."
