1971
Early seventies date
1971 is the year following 1970 and preceding 1972.
Like other years, it functions as a noun identifying a specific point in time: She was born in 1971.
Years also work as modifiers: the 1971 earthquake, a 1971 Chevrolet.
In shorthand, people often drop the century: back in '71.
