Soul Source Favourite Motown Song

just a quick word on the counting side

 

see a few have made more than one choice in posts 

if thats the case then when counting it may be best to just  count the first posted one as the vote

 

that way memebrs still  get a vote and they also have  a chance to edit if they want another track counted or left if happy with the first one

 

does that make sense ?  :D

Impossible to narrow it down,and find myself agreeing with so many of the choices.But i'll add a couple .

 

Smokey & the Miracles - Just losing you.

Marvin & Tammi - What you gave me.

Jnr Walker & All Stars - Gotta hold onto this feeling.

Smashing choons yooth

"JUST LOSING YOU"  a masterpiece IMHO :hatsoff2:

My choice would be the B side to CLOUD NINE -TEMPTATIONS/. WHY DID SHE HAVE TO LEAVE ME, BRILLIANT, CHEAP, and not so sure that many people know it. JUST PLAY AND FALL IN LOVE. ROD

 

The whole of Cloud Nine LP is just awesome   :thumbsup:  :thumbsup:

 

 

One Motown track ????

One largely unsung = Martha Reeves - Heartless...

 

 

unissued ? probably Crying Time.

 

Can we have one a day  ??

Velvelettes - Needle in a haystack

Funny how when you're a kid ( and even now sometimes ) something you hear once and sticks and sticks and you never ever get tired of it.
Top shelf toe tapper.

I've often though for all the great rare/ obscure records we listen to some records were hits for a reason and deservedly so.
( admitted that some were'nt, but that's another story)
Has there been a worst record on Motown thread? Couldn't find one.

Tammi Terrell did a great version.

This would be the one for me. Are there any other versions as i thought it was earmarked for the four tops .

This thread just shows how good Motown was. Great topic. I've had my vote...does anyone like Do What You Gotta Do?

I'm 56 now and Motown has been a backdrop to my life - Good times, Bad times, Happy times and Sad times. Hard to select a number one track for each act, let alone overall but I'll go for the magical Marvin Gaye and Inner City Blues (Make me wanna holler). Sheer poetry. Relevant in '71, still relevant today?
