    Three songs from the 70's which I adore:

    Ahmad Jamal Trio - I Love Music --------- (spot the sample in a classic 90s hiphop track)

    Herbie Hancock - Watermelon Man --------- (I've got a ticket to see Herbie later this year, can't believe it)

    Idris Muhammad - Could Heaven Ever Be Like This --------- (Just such a huge huge huge track, sitting in a jazz-funk-disco nexus in '77, seriously actually listen to this)
