Default Soul & R&B of the 1970s--PLEASE HELP

I seem to have misplaced my soul & R&B classics of the '70s. I had about 100 songs!



So I need to start a thread devoted to these CLASSIC soul & R&B tunes of the great 1970s in the hopes of amassing the songs I want again. Please post your soul & R&B favorites in this thread. These songs are perfect for jogging, gym, or just tooling down the highway with the top down (which isn't easy in my nonconvertible).

So please let's all pitch in & create a soulful groove filled with rhythm, blues & songs that just won't quit!!

Let your songs flow with Singasong by Earth Wind & Fire!

Can't you include Funk, too?

PARLIAMENT!!!!

Thanks for sharing those songs.
I don't have any classic 70's R&B and soul. I actually don't like much R&B, but I'm sure it was better in the 70's.

Edit - those yousendit links aren't working, just a blank screen. Additionally, I tried to yousend something a few minutes ago, and it directed me to a new yousendit site where you have to register even for a free account.

Of course, I have to mention Midnight Train to Georgia by Gladys Knight & the Pips.

I know these aren't 70s, but I love me some Otis Redding, so I couldn't not post them:

That's How Strong My Love Is

These Arms of Mine

Try a Little Tenderness

Pain in My Heart

I always like Smokey Robinson's Being With You and Cruising Together for soul food. I don't know enough about posting links though. Jermaine Jackson's Do What You Do is smooth too (despite my allergy to the Jackson family generally), I think that was in the '70s.

how do I utilize yousendit to post the track here?
1. Open www.yousendit.com in your browser.

2. Enter your e-mail address in the Recipient Email Address(es) text field. This will allow YouSendIt to notify you by e-mail that your file has been uploaded to a specific location on the Web.

3. Click the Browse button adjacent to the Select File To Send text field, and locate the file you want to upload.

4. Click the Send It button.

5. In a few minutes (depending on the file size), YouSendIt will send you an e-mail message providing the URL of the file's new location. You can post that URL here.
