[Dan Murphy]

How about one, 'My Girl'?---sound

 

[jx3smom]

You Can't Hurry Love-Diana Ross and the Supremes

 

[DISshopkeeper]

Just My Imagination is such a beautiful song, it almost feels like a hymn.

I Love Papa Was a Rolling Stone. It just makes me want to dance.

And speaking of dancing is Dance to the Music Motown?

I love Motown. More as I get older....

Funny you should ask....I'm sitting here snacking on popcorn and listening to Motown right now!

Some of my favorites.....

RESPECT - Aretha Franklin

I Second That Emotion - Smokey Robinson

Get Ready - The Temptations

 

[Kimickey]

I dont think he's Motown but you definitely have to have

Teddy Pendergrass' "Love T.K.O"

 

[Sandy51]

Any song by the Temptations or Marvin Gaye.


Sandy

 

[SyracuseWolvrine]

To me, there's really 1 name that just makes me think motown ... of course, I'm talking about the one, the only, the queen of soul, Ms. Aretha Franklin

 

[Pin Wizard]

Anything Diana Ross sings. She has some voice!


Theme from Mahogany will be good for starters.

Where Did Our Love Go

You Keep Me Hanging On

Plenty of others.
