Not sure how Crystal Gayle worked her way into this thread, but I'm happy to have her aboard

Sure is a part of life, music you grow up listening to, Diana Ross,Lionel Richie, Steve Wonder, Crystal Gayle all firm favourites in Mum and Dad's record collection all timeless classics

Also kinda changes depending on my mood

Herein lies the problem..

Motown has soundtracked everyones lives..apart from the teenage chav on the street, but no doubt, in a few years, another TV campaign like the Levis one in 85 will ensure they buy the latest "Best of Motown" when its fashionable

As I said..lthe list of top notch songs, by top notch artists is silly..
Motown is beyond quantification, its just part of life

Re: THE greatest Motown song..

1.Marvin Gaye. Mercy Mercy Me
2.Temptations. Get Ready
3.Marvin Gaye/Diana Ross. you are everything
4.Stevie Wonder. Higher Ground
5.Diana Ross/Supremes. Reflections


that was HARD

Almost impossible, due to nearly everything they released being top notch..

Whats your favourite top five Motown numbers??

Jeez..my list is about 50 songs long! I could happily live on a desert island with nothing but the entire Motown catalogue to listen to..
you just NEVER get tired of those songs
