Aside from those already mentioned:
Frank Wilson - Do I Love You (Indeed I Do) Temptations - Get Ready Marvin Gaye - I Heard It Through The Grapevine Stevie Wonder - Seems So Long Smokey Robinson - Shop Around Four Tops - Reach Out, I'll Be There I realise that's six, but I could hit sixty with ease without really having to think too hard. |

pretty sure jackie wilson was never part of motown, especially given his former songwriting partner ceased his partnership with him to go and found motown records...

i've decided...since in the "greatest song ever" game there is NO soul representation....i am going to make my own game...i will count up all the nominations in this thread, and the 12 motown songs with the most nominations will go through to the "Best of Motown" game!
so Motown fans, get nominating your favourite 5 songs! if you have already posted in here songs which you only posted because they hadn't been posted already, then post again! |
