DANCERS IN LOVE
DO NOTHING 'TIL YOU HEAR FROM ME
DON'T GET AROUND MUCH ANYMORE
DROP ME OFF IN HARLEM
FAT AND FORTY
HEY BABY
HIT ME WITH A HOT NOTE AND WATCH ME BOUNCE
I GOT IT BAD (AND THAT AIN'T GOOD)
I LET A SONG GO OUT OF MY HEART
I'M BEGINNING TO SEE THE LIGHT
I'M CHECKING OUT, GOODBYE
I'M JUST A LUCKY SO AND SO
IMAGINE MY FRUSTRATION
IN A SENTIMENTAL MOOD
IT DON'T MEAN A THING
I'VE GOT TO BE A RUG CUTTER
JUST SQUEEZE ME
KINDA DUK-ISH
LOVE YOU MADLY
