Push it out a couple more years-"Billion Dollar Babies" 

1973 had all the usual suspects release more great work.

 

"Oh, and old school disco is back! Who doesn't love the Shuggie Otis "Strawberry Letter #23" as covered by the Bros Johnson? :)"

EPIC cover of SL#23

whart- it was the fabulous outfits that made the Brothers Johnson way hip!

I pull that album out now and then when friends "in the know" are visiting.

It was in heavy rotation back in 1977 on the Soul radio station.

How about some Ohio Players for extra funky groove?
