just listening to a bit of barry white and pondering. why did strings suddenly start getting used so much in pop and disco records in the 70s?
was this a production gimmick consciously borrowed from socially-acceptable and big-selling easy listening records?
was it because the sound of strings is associated with romance in some way?
was it for purely musical reasons?
did orchestras need the cash?
