As we take a trip back to the '70s this weekend, we'd like to take a stroll down memory lane and remember the following iconic moments from the decade:

• "Coal Miner's Daughter" was released in 1970 by Loretta Lynn and soon became a number one hit on the Billboard country chart.
• Loretta Lynn and Conway Twitty hit No. 1 their first duo, "After the Fire Is Gone" in 1971.
• John Denver released "Take Me Home, Country Roads" in April of 1971, and the song went on to be a hit on the country charts and on the Billboard Hot 100 as well.

• The Grand Ole Opry relocated to its current location in 1974 from the historic Ryman Auditorium.
• In the mid-‘70s the Outlaw Movement took hold and "outlaws" like Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings, Merle Haggard, David Allan Coe and a host of others grew in popularity.
• Dolly Parton and Porter Wagoner parted ways in 1974 and to wish Wagoner farewell, Parton wrote "I Will Always Love You," which became iconic and hit No. 1 in June of 1974. Earlier that year Dolly Parton's "Jolene" became a No. 1 hit in 1974.
