ok , you may remember me asking for songs with "black" or "white" in the title, but i have since changed my mind on my Christmas compilation
so i am going with the best songs from the 70s
i may do a top 500 or 250 or 1000, but i am trying to get opinion on the top few.
so what would everyone say is their top 10 , or 3, 5 , whatever you want. i'd like some input!
thanks people!

You mean Strawberry Letter 23? I was sooo going to add that! But I couldn't decide between the Brothers Johnson or the Shuggie Otis original. Both versions are equally good.

Quite recently I completed a comprehensive survey of adult humans ---partially using The Google --- and my results, which will be published in an Important Academic Research Paper by An Important American Collegiate Institution, concluded, that, without a doubt, "Play That Funky Music" by Wild Cherry is the greatest song ever recorded. And, my associates tell me, it was released during the 1970's.
