Some of The Greatest Songs to come out of MOTOWN 1959-1971

What's Going On-Marvin gaye

I Want You Back-The jackson 5

I Heard It Through The Grapevine-marvin Gaye/Gladys Knight and The Pips

Fingertips-Stevie Wonder

Shotgun-Jr. Walker and The All-Stars

OOO Baby Baby-Smokey Robinson and The Miracles

Ain't No Mountain High Enough-Diana Ross/marving Gaye and tammi Terrell

My Girl-The Temptations

Nowhere To Run-martha reeves and The Vandellas

Reach Out, I'll Be There-The Four Tops

Stop! 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.....

You can take a black guy to Nashville from right out of the cotton fields with bib overalls, and they will call him R&B. You can take a white guy in a pin-stripe suit who’s never seen a cotton field, and they will call him country. ~ O. B. McClinton
