Am7 · D7
The minor-seven-to-dominant lift — smoky, modern, endless.

A · D
Two chords and a whole Motown catalogue — "My Girl" lives here.
A · F#m7 · D · E7
The doo-wop changes grown up — sevenths in the bass seats, backbeat on top.
Amaj7 · C#m7 · Dmaj7 · E7
Every chord here is a seventh chord. That extra note keeps each one sounding a little unfinished, so the progression flows from one chord to the next without ever fully settling. That’s the smooth, easy sound soul ballads are built on.
