Guest Simon Posted January 31, 2007 Share Posted January 31, 2007 Going on from Mace's cd comp that Soulgirl went all creamy over & has since metomorphosised into a MR thread, what Martha Reeves tracks do you think are ready to be spun on todays NS dancefloor? I'll start you off with 'Wild one' - Has the right feel & danceability imo & still has a freshness about it. Simon Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Not so sure I want to be associated with Simons Soiled Undies, and whilst I'm sure he realises he is onto a high number of posts & views by generating such a clever titled thread, I think I may need to seek legal advise on this matter Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Modernsoulsucks Posted January 31, 2007 Share Posted January 31, 2007 IMO the best track by Vandellas that's not really been given much exposure is "I'll follow you" off the "Watchout" LP. Motown but kinda more Northern orientated like Isleys "Tell me..." , or Monitors "Save a little..." Well worth getting hold of and cheap.

Daved Posted January 31, 2007 Share Posted January 31, 2007 "No More Tear Stained Make Up". Not a dancer but one of their finest moments imo. Beautiful lyrics from Smokey Robinson. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Guest TONY ROUNCE Posted January 31, 2007 Share Posted January 31, 2007 ..."This Is When I Need You Most", from the "Come And Get These Memories" album, has always done it for me. Always thought of it as much more than mere album filler and never understood why Motown never considered it as a single (or perhaps they did?) Mace, if you're reading this, I'll send your Barry Darvell back tomorrow, mate... TONE Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Sean Hampsey Posted January 31, 2007 Share Posted January 31, 2007 "Taking My Love" It's the flipside of 'Heartless'. Never heard anyone play it........ except me! Choooooon! Sean Hampsey Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
BrianB Posted January 31, 2007 Share Posted January 31, 2007 So many fantastic tracks. How can you ever beat the intro to Heatwave? I'll Never Be Alone does it for me. Absolutely beautiful. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Guest Paul Posted January 31, 2007 Share Posted January 31, 2007 Martha's finest moment, in my opinion, was "I'm Ready For Love". It was a wonderful song and Martha really seemed to be living the part. We should never take these records for granted. Paul Mooney Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Guest Jimmy Scriv Posted January 31, 2007 Share Posted January 31, 2007 As a collector of Motown sheet music I lost out on 'You've been in love too long' on EBay it went for $149. That's the most I've seen a Motown/Northern sheet go for. Them pesky yanks :angry: Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Guest niallcrowley Posted February 2, 2007 Share Posted February 2, 2007 'My baby loves me' might be a bit slow for the dance floor but deserves a mention in a thread like this don't y'all agree? Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Daved Posted February 3, 2007 Share Posted February 3, 2007 Quite right - beautiful song. I wouldn't say it's too slow for the dancefloor at all. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

I'll start you off with 'Wild one' - Has the right feel & danceability imo & still has a freshness about it. Simon "In And Out Of My Life" might sound good these days. Have never heard it played out anywhere... But really my favourite Martha Reeves record of ALL time has to be "My Baby Loves Me". They don't get much better than that for me! Superb!

Dave Moore Posted February 4, 2007 Share Posted February 4, 2007 "In And Out Of My Life" might sound good these days. Have never heard it played out anywhere... Played at the Hitsville Weekender by your stuly. Always loved it. Came out on a nice White Red Vinyl Demo too as well as the normal black vinyl one.
