Oh, there'd be too many to list...
But safe to say, there's gotta be copious amounts of anything from the holy trinity of Motown/Atlantic/Stax...
'A Change Is Gonna Come' - Sam Cooke
'Cool Jerk' - Capitols
'Hey Western Union Man' - Jerry Butler
'People Get Ready' - Impressions
'Papa's Got A Brand New Bag' - James Brown & The Furious Flames
...to name just a pitiful few...
'My Pledge Of Love' was by the Joe Jeffrey Group and you'll find it stashed away on Disc 5 of this little beauty...
It sadly looks to be out of print at the time of writing - I was sorely tempted to partake when it came out (as there's quite a bit of stuff there I haven't heard), but the import cost would have been prohibitive!

My two favorites, and one I mention in the topic post about Motown music becoming socially conscious, would both be from Martha & the Vandellas:
"Dancing In The Street" & "Nowhere To Run" (that has to be the best party song, I can think of)
That being written here are some of my other favorite dance tunes from the 1960's:
"Respect" & "Think" by Aretha Franklin
"I Get Around" by the Beach Boys
"I Want To Hold Your Hand", "Twist & Shout", "She Loves You", "I Feel Fine", "Eight Days A Week" by a certain band of four lads from Liverpool, England curiously enough named the Beatles ;)
"It's The Same Old Song" & "I Can't Help Myself (Sugar Pie, Honey Bunch)" by the Four Tops
"(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction", "Get Off My Cloud", "19th Nervous Breakdown" by the Rolling Stones
"I Only Want To Be With You" & "Son Of-A Preacher Man" by Dusty Springfield
"Lightin' Strikes" by Lou Christie
"Where Did Our Love Go", "When The Lovelight Starts Shining Through His Eyes", "Stop! In The Name Of Love", "You Keep Me Hangin' On" by the Supremes
"Last Train To Clarksville", "I'm A Believer" by the Monkees
"I Feel Good" by James Brown
"Mustang Sally", "Land Of 1000 Dances" by Wilson Pickett
"1-2-3" by Len Berry
"Rescue Me" by Fontella Bass
"River Deep, Mountain High", "It's Gonna Work Out Fine" by Ike & Tina Turner
This is to name a few, I'll have to think of more later.
