Where's the Motown thread? (singer, great songs, albums, fan, tunes)

paxdomini · 04-05-2008, 11:59 AM

Pardon me, everybody, but I've been listening to Stevie Wonder's "Talking Book" for a while, and it's gotten me interested in doing a little research on The Supremes and Fontella Bass. If anyone has resources or opinions as to the best albums by either, please let me know! For just a little more info on my preferences, I'm a huge fan of Bass's tune "Rescue Me."

I'm not joking when I say 'Diana Ross and The Supremes - 'The Ultimate Collection' is the album you want.
If you really want to delve deeper and research The Supreme's you need to ignore the singers and take a look at what's going on in the background.
Ross's tinny thin vocals were meant for nothing more than the car radio.
The soul's in the sound.

I think we should eloborate on this thread and post our fave Motown tunes. Here we go:

Here's a couple of my personal faves - Ooh Baby Baby by Smokey Robinson & The Miracles and This Old Heart Of Mine by The Isley Brothers.

I could mention many more as there are so many great songs to choose from... I'm Gonna Run Away From You - Tammi Lynn, Heaven Must Have Sent You - The Elgins, Ain't Too Proud To Beg - The Temptations... the list will go on and on I'm sure!!

Sorry I don't know how to put up the videos from youtube but I'm sure you all know the songs I am talking about.

cheers, David

Isley Brothers - Your Love Is My Love.
If ever there was a song to fall in love to, this is it.
Has a smooth floating quality...pure magic.
