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!)

Just being random, as usual...
Not that I'm old enought to know who these "people" are, but I've heard my moma play them around the house when I was little (lol)
Now I've got to go find my best of Marvin Gaye CD and brighten up my Saturday. It's cloudy and gray here in Waldorf.
Love, peace and blessings for a great day!
Who can' t love Motown?? lololol
Good list.
Great List...You didn't mention "Sugar Pie Honey Bunch" by the Four Tops..Great song.
I always include a healthy dose of Motown on my playlists..
I loved those old Motown Songs...
A Motown List that doesn't include the Marvelletes-"Don't Mess with Bill"?? Unheard of (lolololol,That's my favorite -lol)
I'm kind of young ,but I remember my parents playing this music around the house when I was growing up.
Before my time Keith, but I'll take your word for it!-lolol.
Great Music Keith..I've always loved it.
I bought a box set of CD's a few years back that have all of these great songs on it...I loved it.
Before my time Keith, but I listen to Butterball's Oldies Show on Sundays on 'DAS and hear most of this stuff. It is great music.
Nice Selections Keith..I could add a few more-
"War"-Edwin Starr
"Brickhouse"-Commodores
"You and I"- Rick James
just to name a few-lololol.
My Parents used to have house parties when I was little and they used to play all of this good stuff. I especially remember -"Dancin in the Streets" by Martha and the Vandellas and "Heatwave"-Those were my mother's favorites.
Great Songs All ,Keith
Nice List and Great Songs...We all
probably could add a number of other songs..but that's right, these are YOUR favorites.
Lol, I just cant pick one, they had to many tracks that I loved.
I had so many songs to choose from and seven really doesn't do it justice...I should've done the Saturday 700.
Even though it was before my time I loved and enjoyed the songs!! What a nice list!
