1970s music advise

[Shamu]

Hi,

I'm a budding Dj who needs help for a 1970s dance music play-list!

It is my Nan & Granddads wedding anniversary in June and I will be providing the music for the day.

I know that they both love dance music from the 70s. However, the only dance music that I know from that era is Abba who are great but I need some other artists names and song titles who were playing dance music during this period.

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated .Many thanks in advance for any help in my project.
