UK / European only on a 45.

Adam.

Miracles,  Whole lot of shakin goin on  .   M arvelettes  I,ll keep on holdin on  . Martha &  Vandellas   Youve been in love too long .  Liz Lands , Midnight Johnny . Originals ,  Suspicion . Supremes , My world is empty without you .    Four tops , I,ll turn to stone .    Junior Walker , Roadrunner .  Velvelettes , Bird in the hand .  Temptations , I  know  i,m losing you .

Same here. It always packs the floor when I play it but i’ve seen it regularly on eBay for a fiver and it never sells.

Another underrated M and Vs song: "I promise to wait my love". the 45 version is better than the LP recording, but the only video on youtube is pretty crappy!

 

Not a big motown fan, but it would be this for me.

Big favourite for me 

 

bottom and co "gotta find a true love"

Still reckon Martha Reeves  Heartless, deserves a lot more recognition..

Here's another great Dancer from Martha

Class

The Isley Brothers "Tell Me It's Just A Rumour Baby" - at one time the biggest record on the scene and possibly the best dance record Motown have ever produced !!

 

 

contours baby hit & run

The Isley Brothers "Tell Me It's Just A Rumour Baby

contours just a little misunderstanding

temps anit to proud to beg

jnr walker  road runner

gladys knight no one can love you more

m / reeves no one there 

edwin star time 

Jimmy Ruffin Gonna give her all the love i've got
