I can't believe there isn't a Motown thread on here

Marvin Gaye & Tammi Terrell - The Onion Song

there's no vid to watch so just stick it on in the background and enjoy

:D

Excellent thread choice. I think Motown was under Soul but why not have our own. I have that song btw :D

Love this :D

Temptations again - Ain't too Proud to Beg

a Motown homage

THAT MOTOWN SOUND

and two of the greatest acts together

The Temptations and The Supremes - The Way You Do the Things You Do

MY fave Motown band, male anyway, and male singer Four Tops, Levi Stubbs. What a voice :bow: I play their album loads, these are my personal faves.

I like Got a Feeling but cant; find it on YouTube

The first two are among my all time fave male vocal perfromances. As I say, WHAT a voice. Billy Bragg wrote a song about him and Motown.

"when your world falls apart some things stay in place, Levi Stubbs's tears ran down his face .....

Norman Whitflied and Barrat Strong
Are here to make right everything that's wrong
Holland and Holland, Lamont-Dozier too
Are here to make it all okay with you" :)

oooooo SB.. now I'm onto....

whistle: Just walk away Renee
You won't see me follow you back home
Now as the rain beats down upon my weary eyes
For me it cries :whistle:

Strange, but sitting here looking out the window watching the rain fall, has somehow reminded me of 'Summer Breeze' :blink:

Glad you like Renee :D

I LOVE Summer Breeze, last tme I searched it wasn't there but I'll try again. Fabulous song, you can feel the curtains floating in the breeze cant; you? roflmao

Summer Breeze - Isley Brothers

'blowin' through the jasmine in my mind :whistle: "

and the brilliantly subtle political statement of

Harvest for the World - Isley Bros

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yz_OsEISBGo

awww very kind of you, but will have to continue singing it in my head as no speakers remember :(

PS. You are right (no kidding) you can see the curtains wafting in the breeze :D God I love this song on a summers day or evening driving in the car.

Harvest for the World :clap: :yahoo: Do you remember 'The Christians' doing a dam fine version of it in the late 80's I think. :clap:
