I was thinking of that Michael Jackson LP; also the Jacksons Philly albums and various tracks from the Destiny and Triumph albums

Teena Marie, "Just us two" - Robbie Vincent used to hammer this in his Kiss FM days

Lamont Dozier, "Wild frame of mind" - really atmospheric, especially with Jones Girls backing 

Love Mary Wells' "Ain't It The Truth", very nice tune.

you can add I will fight, from same album

Four Tops had some great tracks after leavin' Motown. First two that come to mind are "Feel free" and "Are you man enough", but surely there are others. Speakin 'bout David Ruffin I think that "I wanna be with you" on Warner Bros is one of his greatest efforts

Lamont Dozier 'I ain't playing' and 'Shout about it'

and everything else he did post Motown
