How about "For the Love of Money" by the O'Jays?
Most people only know that opening hook, but it's an amazing song all the way through.

one of my fav compilations is shaolin soul, bunch of original tunes sampled by wu...nothing too obscure, but excellent nonetheless...
not really an oldier oldie but was listening to the stones "some girls" album yesterday, great stuff...
not obscure, but love the impressions albums with curtis mayfield;
This is My Country
The Young Mods forgotten Storya great jazz album for vocal harmony is the 65 album Andy Bey and the Bey Sisters...vocals on that are priceless
