it wasn't a d.j. set per se, more a list of tunes off the top of my head...toss in a few more well known oldies, & with the currant popularity of 70's tunes,a few more of them, then, yeah, i think you could keep a dancefloor full, without having to resort to the playing of freddie chavez, duke browner, etc boots, lets not forget, theres also the motown catalogue that can be drawn upon for cheap floor fillers,both 60's and 70's, without having go down the baby love / reach out, road
i'm not saying that joe blogs & his mates who run a monthly village hall soul nite should overnight drop the playing of boots of the top 500 oldies, christ, if they did that then no funker would turn up for the next one, however, if over a period of time, started to phase in some originals & start to drop the boots then in the end everyone wins, guys like jocko & steve g, to name but two, have a wealth of knowledge, im sure they would be able to point people in the right direction of class originals at bootleg prices
