Any other 70s albums to check out? Feeling disco-ish too btw
70s
Carson Taylor
Julian Harris
Curtis Mayfield - Curtis
Isaac Ward
Listened to this one yesterday. Starts of very strong
Nice I'll prob listen to this next
Jonathan Walker
...
Evan Moore
Listen to Curtis Mayfield - Superfly. Also check out Isaac Hayes - Hot Buttered Soul
Robert Wood
This. The logical steps after Marvin
Adrian Cooper
Pieces of a Man - Gil Scott-Heron
Dude never gets any appreciation on mu. But part of me would like to keep it that way.
Charles White
the race baiters would have a field day with his stuff, but he was a very talented musician no doubt.
Camden Jackson
Baby Huey-The Baby Huey Story
Austin Nelson
YES, definitely a classic right there.
Lincoln Price
OP just started this. Just what I was looking for.
I love this too now.
Kevin Ramirez
I'd say it owes a little more to 60's soul but still essential.
Christian Evans
Stevie Wonder - Innervisions

Zachary Clark
Lee Moses > James Carr > Otis
Such a shame we never got to hear more of Lee on recording. The man could wail.
Levi Hughes
Logan James
Thanks for the recs guys. Have lots of stuff to fill my time now :)
Asher Sullivan
Sampling aside this whole album incompasses everything that is great about 70s jazz funk/quiet storm.
Brandon Powell
Also check out An Insatiable High by Masayoshi Takanaka for that warm 70s Japanese city pop/jazz fusion sound.
Mason Brown
I love that dude and that album. When You Are Who You Are always makes me smile and mini dance. One could argue that The Revolution Will Not Be Televised is the precursor to conscious rap.
Have you heard I'm New Here?
Michael Green
Also, OP, check out Bobby Womack. Some of his stuff is pretty darn close to What's Going On with a dash of disco. Try out Home Is Where the Heart Is or some of his albums from that period
Alexander Cooper
just beautiful
Christopher Baker
EW&F's entire discography from the 70's is pretty incredible
Brandon Jackson
This one is a gem
Adam Peterson

Kayden Brown
It's been generally accepted that Scott-Heron was a precursor to rap as a whole. I haven't heard that album yet though. Been listening to sly and the family stone.
Nolan Jenkins
Everybody loves the sunshine, man.
Cooper Powell
Oh yeah, S&tFS is great as well. Colour Me True is def my fave of theirs.
Do yourself a favor and listen to Pieces of a Man. Imo his finest work no doubt, The Revolution Will Not Be Televised is intense af. Which albums ahve you jeard of him?
Nicholas Torres
Funkadelic - Maggot Brain
maybe some Sly and the Family Stone too
John Diaz
This user Pieces of a Man is great but if you want more disco perhaps look into his later stuff eg. Bridges by him and Brian Jackson
