cowbell jams compilation..

hey y'all,

I'm working on putting together a compilation of songs that prominently feature that distinctive funky instrument - the cowbell. I've only thought of the following jams so far :

satin soul - barry white
play that funky music - wild cherry
l-o-v-e-u - brass construction
i can understand it - new birth
let’s dance to the drummer’s beat - herman kelly

so I'd like to get some input from the org music experts here - what other songs like these - dance/funk, preferably from the 70s - can I add to this list?? I'd like to get at least 5 more songs if possible. thanks in advance.

fyi - my favorite "cowbell jam" from those above would have to be "I can understand it" followed by "l-o-v-e-u"
I'll see you tonight..
in ALL MY DREAMS..
