They say this song was released in April,1973, but I distinctively remember there being snow on the ground when I first heard it on the radio, but oh well...........

The Spinners were so popular in the seventies that all you needed was their current album and you had a party! Here's one of my favorite from those days - "Mighty Love" - 1974

I must say I was more into the soul shouters so it took me a minute to appreciate how much soul Sam Cooke express without having to out run a song. Here is my favorite by him.
EWF - Devotion. Love the live version. The harmonies on this song is awesome. This is more recent clip but the version from the 70's is the one.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=grMdD0e0yIo
No many how times I have heard this song I always want to get up and dance.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FAVKG0I6XXA
Here is a hidden gem. One of my favorites and can't believe it wasn't a hit. The Precisions - You're the Best That Ever Did It
