Badujunkie,I'm glad to see you're having alot of fun exploring this music.I was a 70s child,so I grew up on that music.The 70s was the golden era for funk and R&B music,imo.I love all of those songs that you listed.

i really cant pick out specific titles but the ones that stick out for me is the soundtrack to super fly and sparkle, i also like hot buttered soul by isaac hayes, and just about anything by stevie wonder, al green and chaka khan and rufus during that time.
