Dutronc was instrumental to Hardy’s success, having written several hit songs for her. They have been dubbed as “one of the most popular performers in the French-speaking world” and quickly won people over during the Groovy Era. Hardy’s solo singing career was so successful that she was even called “France’s most exportable female singing star.” She was admired by famous stars of the time like Miles Davis, Bob Dylan, and Mick Jagger. Later on, she also dabbled with modeling and became a fashion icon.

The iconic Woodstock Festival was legendary in the Groovy Era. More than 400,000 people joined the festival to celebrate good music, love, and peace. In this photo, people are on their way to the festival, while others camp out on the roadside. “Woodstock was a spark of beauty where half-a-million kids saw that they were part of a greater organism,” said Joni Mitchell. It is said that an estimated one million people more wanted to attend the festival but couldn’t due to the serious traffic congestion.
