Hollywood
Rufus featuring Chaka Khan’s recording of “Hollywood” came out in 1977, the earliest year on file; Chaka Khan’s came out the same year. Andre Fischer and David “Hawk” Wolinski are credited as its writers. Also recorded by Erykah Badu (released 2000), among 5 recordings of this work on MusicBrainz. J. Cole’s “St. Tropez” (2014) samples it, per MusicBrainz.
Before Cole slowed it down, "Hollywood" was a Rufus record with Chaka Khan out front. Erykah Badu went back to it later, and so did Chaka on her own, so this one has a long tail worth chasing.

Earliest release on file: this one, 1977, the same year as Chaka Khan.
J. Cole’s “St. Tropez” (2014) samples it, per MusicBrainz.
