My favorite Supremes single for obvious reasons (James' bass, Robert White's guitar riffs, Benny Benjamin's drumming, Earl Van Dyke's eerie organ riff and the Supremes themselves). [Edited 4/7/09 21:46pm] | |

Though the music of the golden Motown era was heavily formulized I'm in love with Motown.
I don't just listen to the hits, just recently I began to get whole studio albums, from the Marvelettes, Martha and The Vandellas, Supremes, etc. The ones of Stevie and Marvin are obligatory anyway! | |

Rick is a Motown ARTIST but he wasn't part of the "Motown Sound" (1959-1972) era so he won't be included, sorry. | |

Thanks so much for that instrumental! "It's a Shame" is my favorite of Stevie's early compositions. It's funny that it only peaked at #14 on the charts, because I doubt I can find 13 songs that entire year that are better. Sheer and utter perfection! 
My second favorite: "Whitney was purely and simply one of a kind." ~ Clive Davis | |

My second favorite: You're welcome. Yeah I love that joint. I was surprised myself when I heard it. But yeah that joint was one of the best songs of 1970. And "Tears of a Clown" is the best too. That intro is killer.  | |

Ahhhh .... it's time again for the shameless self-promotion act. Please check out my recent radio show special featuring The Other Side of Motown, which features the more rare, unknown Motown tracks. I consider many of these songs Motown's best music - if you like Motown, this show is a must.
