In The Name of Love-Diana Ross and The supremes Don't Mess With Bill-The Marvelettes What Becomes of the Brokenhearted-Jimmy Ruffin My Guy-Mary Wells and so many others to name..I pick these songs by these artists because I feel as if these songs were the one's that really gave the world insight of what THE MOTOWN SOUND was all about!!! there may be songs that some may think are better, but these in my opinion, are these artists signature tunes.....
