Here's a goody, this progression modulates from Major to relative minor and then ends on a Dominate chord of the two as a turnaround. This chord progression was the A section of autumn leaves, the basis for Santanas Europa, and I believe Grover Washington Jrs. hit Mr Magic (could be wrong about that last one, it's been along time since I jammed that one but I remember it being similiar).

/Fmin7.../Bb7.../Ebmaj7.../Abmaj7.../D-7b5.../G7#5.../
Cmin7.../C7...//

This chord progression works great as a jazz standard, a funk progression, or a ballad.
