3 Songs From 1970 That Could Single-Handedly Keep Clubs Open Today

The article revisits three songs from 1970 that its writer believes could work in clubs today, spanning soul, pop and a slower ballad. It argues that later remixes and the songs’ enduring appeal show how music from the period could still connect with dance-floor audiences.

Diana Ross’s “Ain’t No Mountain High Enough”, written by Ashford & Simpson, became her first solo number one and later received a remix that charted in 2017. The article also highlights Edison Lighthouse’s “Love Grows (Where My Rosemary Goes)” as a sweet pop song, and the Jacksons’ “I’ll Be There” as a more reflective choice for a slower moment.
