Great 70s' Dance Hits?

I've been thinking of compiling a CD of the best dance songs from the 70s, though I don't really know a lot of them. (I wasn't born in that era yet! ;-)) It sounds cool. So, any good suggestions?

Thanks!

I have 1972, 1973, 1974, 1976, and 1977. Each one has 19 or 20 songs on it. I can list them for you later if you'd like.:D

I am pretty sure that some early Van Halen was in the 1970s. I also found that Donna Summer's "Last Dance" got people out on the floor. I cannot be sure that that was not 1980s either.
Mike Meyers had fun with the Bay City Rollers S-A-TUR-DAY Night, and Grand Funk Railroad did a version of the Locomotion in the 1970s. I think Bob Seger's "Old Time Rock and Roll" may be from the 1970s. If not "Katmandu" surely is. Others that come to mind.
I've got the music in me - Kiki di
Fool for the city - Foghat
I'm alright - Kenny Loggins
Your mama don't dance - Loggins and Messina
China Grove - Doobie Brothers
Walk this way - Aerosmith
I wanna Rock and Roll all night - Ki$$
Anytime - Journey
Whole lotta Rosie - AC/DC
Fat bottomed girls - Queen
Band on the Run - Wings
Ballroom Blitz - Sweet
Smokin' in the boys room - Brownsville Station
Dreamboat Annie - Heart
Won't get fooled again - Who
Turn to Stone - ELO

... and I was able to locate 99% of the songs.

Still searching for "Breakaway" by Watson Beasley, however.

Right Back Where We Started From, Ring My Bell, Haven't Stopped Dancin' Yet, There But For The Grace Of God, La Bamba, Cuba, Que Sera Mi Vida (If You Should Go), You Make Me Feel Mighty Real, Main Event, Take Me Home, Flashlight

Too too many to list.
