For the young this is where Tupac got "California Love" partially from:

Unfortunately, my dancing days were long over by the 80's, other than to embarass my daughter, at family get togethers and weddings.
We had a guy in our "in crowd" in the 60's tho' I swear he invented break dancing LOL. we would say "he's off again, Let's go to the bar",as people cleared a huge space for him to "get down".
This was his favourite

After recently posting songs from Donnie Elbert and The Newbeats, this is going to sound ridiculous, but I have never taken to the Bee Gees, their pitch is way too high and nasal for me. Having said that, I am in awe of some of their extremely soulful songwriting.
Al Green How can you mend a broken heart for example

Teddy Pendergrass also did a superb vocal job on this, [[even from his wheelchair) but I feel it was over produced.. too many synthesisers!
Another Bee Gee composition, one I believe was destined for Mr Pitiful himself, had he lived
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D3Ili2VvtvU
Barry Gibbs work with Barbra Streisand and Dionne Warwick also produced some great stuff
Here's one that is older than me, just. First a little story, my mother was quite an accomplished pianist, in a British pub sort of way, and my father could hold a note, when he had had one or two beers [[nether of these talents came thro' to me genetically)
I was four years old at a family gathering in the childrens room of a local pub and even at that age I recall my father accompanied on piano by my mother, singing this
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VYf7cRtOHYU
He also would sing Woody Hermans Who Dat Up Dere to me as a lullabye and I would chuckle myself to sleep. He later recounted to me, I can't remember that.
Mel & Tim......"Backfield In Motion" from the Fall of 1969:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X4qJYUHLtuU
Winter 1969-70 brought us "When You Get Right Down To It" by The DELFONICS:

It's September 1963 and on the radio is.......The Jaynetts - "Sally Go Round the Roses"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=icLLcMCoX08
Sticking around 1963 for a moment. Check out Major Lance and "Monkey Time":

Give it away-the chi-lites
This one JAI?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1YYqXYhOmB4
I like the "Old Skool" theme you guys have got going here
Try this one from 1960
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AjczGwA7AZ4
Check out Ben E King, and Jackie Edwards covers as well
And just too show I did move with the times [[a little) 1976 I think?

This wasn't released as a single but it is one of the most Soulful, funkiest things I ever heard. From the motion picture soundtrack to "Car Wash"

Here's a belly rubbing classic:

I insist the '70s are underappreciated. Before R&B morphed into the blandness of disco, it went to another level of soul music. Nothing like it has been recorded since. Love this tune:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8NQ-Bk63Hs8
The Isley Brothers' run on T-Neck was filled with unprecedented hits. I remember all of their hits [[Mom and Dad had most of them on 45; remember all of the "Part 1" and "Part 2" A and B sides?) but never considered them very much until decades later. Now, all of those songs are among my favorites. Only Cameo in the '80s and '90s had a catalog like that. In my mind anyway.

I haven't heard this since my brother wore it out on our old console back in high school.

Dayton had so many great outfits. Sun is forgotten about when discussing the city's great bands. After the Ohio Players, Zapp, Heatwave, Lakeside, and Slave, you kind of run out of time and forget groups like Sun. That's a shame.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pszdlc4_x-A
Here's the other great song of of Sun's debut:
