History

Soft Rock emerged in the late 1960s and gained popularity throughout the 1970s. It evolved as a subgenre of rock music, incorporating elements of folk, pop, and easy listening. Artists sought to create music that was more radio-friendly and accessible, leading to a sound that was both commercially successful and widely appealing. The genre continued to influence music into the 1980s and beyond.
