In honor of Motown Records 50th Anniversary, here are my seven favorite Motown cuts (in no particular order)...
1. "Can't Get Next To You" (The Temptations)
2. "The Love I Saw in You Was Just a Mirage" (Smokey Robinson & The Miracles)
3. "Ain't That Peculiar" (Marvin Gaye)
4. "I Was Made To Love Her" (Stevie Wonder)
5. "Love Child" (Diana Ross & The Supremes)
6. "Nowhere To Run" (Martha Reeves & The Vandellas)
7. "I Want You Back" (The Jackson Five)
And, to the youngins... this was good music. (Nuff said!)
