Dance tunes my cover band should play

[musiclawyer]

We got a new gir singer who's really good. Band consists of drummer, bass, guitar, keys(can be snd guitar on appropriate songs) and singer (no horns). What songs you think we should do..... Good songs that get people dancing, but have not been overplayed. Anything from motown to rock to pop, past or present. Songs with melody, rather than all rythm preferred.

1. "Dancin' in the Streets" of course

2. Keys can do the horn pieces too

It's a shame.. the Spinners

Dazz - Brick
Mustang Sally
Sweet Home Chicago..good swing tune
Taking Care of Business .. BTO

All are easy to play and will get people dancing

4. No Mustang Sally! No blowface tunes!

IMHO,
Stevie Wonder tunes are underplayed by cover bands. Can't go wrong with some of his stuff.
