Dance music from Western countries that became hits in the 1970s. World-famous songs and popular tracks (21–30)
VenusThe Shocking Blue
It’s a masterpiece that starts with an impressive cutting guitar sound, then the bass and drums weave in! This song is famous in Japan too, right? It’s Shocking Blue’s biggest hit and their only number-one single! By the way, Bananarama also covered it in the ’80s, and that version became a big hit as well.
Don’t Stop ‘Til You Get EnoughMichael Jackson
A world-famous artist, needless to say! Michael Jackson performed with the Jackson 5 and The Jacksons as part of a group, but after going solo, this song became a massive hit.
With a groove rooted in funk, it stood out as a memorable pop song and reached number one in the U.

Dance music of Western songs that were hits in the 70s. World-famous and popular songs (31–40)
Sir DukeStevie Wonder
Let me introduce a track from the album by the blind artist Stevie Wonder that’s considered a masterpiece.
It’s often used in car commercials in Japan, so it’s a song you’ll probably feel like you’ve heard before.
This album comes from a happy time when he had a child, and as you’d expect, this song is very upbeat!
Skin TightThe Ohio Players
They were a funk band active in the ’70s.
Beyond their distinctive sound, what remains most talked about is their album cover photos—each featuring a completely nude, sexy woman—which left a massive impact.
It’s a smash hit with a memorable bass intro.
ChameleonHerbie Hancock
A classic masterpiece with a single running over 15 minutes! It’s the kind of thing only someone with a jazz background could pull off.
Over a mid-slow tempo, a pulsing synth bass runs on and on, and Herbie’s funky piano playing is just so cool.
It’s a hit he still performs live to this day.
Soul Bossa NovaQuincy Jones
He’s known as Michael Jackson’s producer, but while working with Michael he also created this kind of masterpiece.
It’s been used so often in Japanese commercials and variety shows that I think many of you will recognize it!
Dschinghis KhanDschinghis Khan
It’s dance music with an impressive intro that keeps the energy high all the way to the end.
I think even people who don’t listen to much music will know this song.
It’s both the name of the group, Dschinghis Khan, and the title of the song.
It’s one of those tracks that gets your energy up whether you like it or not.
