I have 99% of the songs, but purchasing this is truly about the packaging.

The only song I don't have that I can think of is "Dreamin'" by Guinn.

Wow, I'm just looking at the tracklisting and see how the Motown songs hit number-one at what chart in America (Billboard/Cashbox) and abroad. It's fascinating the success Motown had between 1960's "Shop Around" and 2000's "Bag Lady"! Who else can get away with that?! cool

You're surprised about "Crazy" and "Girl I Got My Eyes on You"? I vividly remember both (and both honors were well deserved IMO). Also, remember that lots of songs went to #1 back then.

I remember them being big hits, just didn't ever think of them as being number one hits.
