Let's not forget about the Isleys who have so many album tracks worth a mention.

My Love Is Your Love included. The Miracles 'Just Losing You', magnificent.

I put these in the 'Releases from around the world' thread. Unfortunately they are poor grade vinyl, play terrible but look nice.

I sold a copy of the Gladys Knight a few years ago, a real shame about the low-fi sound quality, there were some nice releases in this series

I have the chuck jackson on a 7", paid more money than I should have to get it, but do I care ? Nope !

(also the 'misery makes' -Supremes is on european 45, orange tamla motown, dutch ?)

Here's a few favourites loved by dance floors down the years -

I'd Cry - Stevie Wonder

Give In, You Just Can't Win - Marvin & Tammi ( same album as Treasure Chest, When Love Comes Knocking,Baby Dontcha Worry, the lovely jerky x-over version of Come On & See Me, Thats How It Is Since Youve Been Gone, pretty much the whole album is top)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i9bMd3Ti3_4

The Stranger - Gladys Knight (better speeded up a touch, +3imo)

You Got To Forget Him Darling - Four Tops (I've had tons of mileage out of this down the decades,never heard anybody else play it)

Forget You Ever Met Me Baby - Barbara McNair

Cant Break The Habit - Martha Reeves

(cant find a link on youtube for it?)

Heaven Sent You I Know - Marvin & Kim (Black Country theme, an ender now spun in memorium of souls "in the upstairs room" )

there's lots more yet....
