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.
