5 - I'd have trouble picking a top 5 from one Motown artist let alone their entire roster- but here goes

1 - I Heard It Through The Grapevine - Marvin Gaye
2 - Just My Imagination - Temptations
3 - Needle In A Haystack - Velvelettes
4 - This Old Heart Of Mine - The Isley Brothers
5 - For Once In My Life - Stevie Wonder

This took some real soul searching and had to leave out Papa Was A Rolling Stone, Living For The City, Third Finger Left Hand, Reach Out (I'll Be There), I'll Be There (J5), My Girl, You Keep Me Hanging On (and many others)

1. Martha and the Vandellas - Heat Wave or Nowhere To Run (can't decide)
2. Diana Ross & the Supremes - Love Child
3. The Four Tops - Reach Out I'll Be There
4. Billy Preston and Syreeta - With You I'm Born Again
5. Stevie Wonder - Superstition
