Hi Listees,  Interesting thread, this.  I may be preaching to the choir, but I have a lot of fun working the progressions in Walter Stewart's "Modern Harmony".   It states 'with these progressions it is possible to harmonize almost any song.'
/ I-IV-V7-I / I-Idim-V7-I / I-Vdim-V7-I / I-vi-ii-V7 / I-I#dim-ii-V7 / I-VI7-II7-V7-I / I-vi-II7-V7-I / I-II7-V7-I / I7-IV-II7-V7 / I-IV-I-V7-I / I-Vm-V7-II7-V7-I / I-I7-IV-IVm-I / I-IVm-V7-I / I-vi-VIb7-V7-I / III7-VI7-II7-V7-I / III7-vi-II7-V7 / iii7-IIIbm-ii7-V7-I / iii7-VI7-II7-V7-I / iii-vi-ii-Vaug-I / I-ii-iii-ii-I / I-IIIb7-ii7-V7 / I-VIb7-V7-I / Vm-VI7-IVm-V7-I / I-I7-IV7-I-VIb-V7-I / ii7-V7-vi7-VIb7-V7-I / I-ii-III7-VI7-Im-II7-V7-I / I-I7-VII7-VIIb7-VI7-II7-V7-I / I-VIIb7-I / I-IV7-I / I-IIIbm-ii-IIb9-I / I-IIIb9-II9-I / vi-III7-Fm-VI7-IVm-V7-I /vi-V#aug-I-II7 / Im-IVm-V7-Im /VIb-V7-iii-vi / VII7-iii-II7-V7 /IV7-IIIb7-II7-V7-I / 
I bought this book over 50 years ago, so you won't find much 'modern' progressions, but I like to use it as a memory jogger.    Have fun, Happy 4th of July and God Bless America.
