Legacy

In 2018, Pitchfork ranked "Haven't You Heard" number 199 in their list of "The 200 Best Songs of the 1970s", calling it "a formally perfect expression of disco. This kind of intimacy, personified by the whispery translucence of Rushen's voice, is just as easily exported to the dance floor."[2] In 2020, Slant Magazine ranked the song number 45 in their list of "The 100 Best Dance Songs of All Time".[3] In 2022, Rolling Stone ranked it number 99 in their "200 Greatest Dance Songs of All Time" list.[4]
