Travelling to the Motor City for this one folks!!!


Which Motown hit is your favorite?

Letting you know in advance...I will vote for Diana Ross over anyone.

That woman's voice has both a strength and subtle lilt at the same time. Been in love with it since I was about 11 years old. Of course, back then I didn't know exactly why I loved it, I just did.

I Second That Emotion- Smokey Robinson and The Miracles

Smokey And The Temps... Like the tune but I always associate them with "Get Ready"... Great lot BTW!

 

[METALPRIEST]

The Supremes

 

[Soot and Stars]

Marvin Gaye and Tami Terell! I listen to the last two tracks as I was unfamiliar with them! I like Marvin later career better but he had a great chemistry with Tami and the enthusiasm of songs like these is very uplifting!

As much as I almost universally like Classic Soul and Motown I haven't really heard anything by Smokey Robinson that really moves me!

Jr Walker & the Allstars "Shotgun" with Aretha pulling in at 2nd place.
