There's nothing like Motown.  IMO, these are the greatest songs of all time.  I know very little about music and various groups with the exception of Motown because I love all of it.  I like most of them, but I Say A Little Prayer by Aretha Franklin is maybe the best.  She's one of the greatest singers ever.

Re: What's your favorite Motown hit?

They were all great . . . and I loved watching them "move" on the stage, so gracefully and, yes, sensually . . . but in a good way.

 

"What's Goin' On" is probably the most significant song because we can still ask that question.

 

Oddly enough, I woke up this morning with "Ain't No Mountain High Enough" going through my head (the Supremes version) and I remember all the words.  They weren't really my favorite though.

 

I was a Stevie Wonder, Sam Cooke, Marvin Gaye, Smokey Robinson fanatic.  All of those albums are packed away in storage and by now all melted down.  I'm glad to have experienced that era.

I love Motown!  Anything by the Temptations is great, but especially "The way you do the things you do".

I love to play Motown when I'm cleaning the house.  Makes the chores a little more bearable.  :-)
