P School | Leave your worries behind

Classic disco/funk from Heatwave.

P School | Ain't No Stoppin Us Now

My mom says this was one of my favorite joints as a 80sbby. RIP to both McFadden and Whitehead.

P School | Family Reunion

That's where most of today. Chillin' in an non-air conditioned community center battling over the last piece of chicken. I'll chill with the cousins I know, those closest to me. Pray for me. jk lol

P School | Rock Creek Park

Just do it.

She's Out of My Life

The song would later be covered by Ginuwine.

Live it Off the Wall

Working Day And Night

I heard this song in a 70s mix someone gave me and fell in love with it instantly.

Off the Wall | Don't Stop Til' You Get Enough

Michael's coming-of-age album. He began to craft his inevitable rise to the top of the charts with this R&B classic. With the help of friend Quincy Jones, this album spawned several classic we'll highlight today.

P School | Dancin' Machine

The group continued well into the 70s. Here they are on the Merv Griffin show. J Dilla flipped the groovy tune for Q-Tip's The Renaissance with "Move."

P School | ABC

The hits keep comin', and the Jackson's keep influencing.

P School | It's Great to Be Here

I didn't know it then, but this classic tune was the backdrop to one of my fave tracks from the ladies of 702.

P School | Got to be there

P School | Someway, somehow

Love this song. Rufus ft. Chaka Khan from the album Street Player. I know of only one other voice to conquer this the way Chaka did.

'73 | Robin Hood

Definitely not a 8709 classic, but this was a sure-fire way to get us kids to be quiet for an hour and half on any given day. Disney's telling of the rogue hero of Sherwood Forest was one of my favorites growing up. Even the most complicated stories of society mores can be lightened with talking animals. Poverty? Crime? Politics? Just add a singing rooster.

P School | Doesn't take much to make me happy

Classic disco hit from The Emotions. You cannot have any type of old school function without playing this song.

P School | Darkness all around...

It's funny how I first heard this song. Gladys Knight and the Pips made great music. Imagination

P School | Love's Train

Classic slow jam from the brothers of Con Funk Shun. I saw them in concert my freshman year; and no school rocks like old school.

SOS | Summer Breeze

Originally a 70s soft-rock hit, "Summer Breeze" has seen its share of covers. None other is more prominent than the Isley Brother's sensual take.

Bonus: Tisdale's version

SOS | Songs of Summer

School's out; temperatures are rising; and both basketball and baseball are in full-swing. Could only mean one thing. Summer is upon us. My favorite time of year. Better than nice weather is the music that highlights the moments of June, July and August. They'll bump from car speakers and stay on your mind once winter's cold comes through. Let's prepare for 'hot fun in the summertime' with a 87|09 summer special : SOS. Classic. Appeared on Kool and the Gang's Light of Worlds, '74. Backdrop to 90s summer anthem.

P School | Naaa-na-na-naa-na!

Direct. Straight to the point. Still makes a statement today. Respect Yourself - The Staple Singers
