January 19, 200916 yr Played Four Tops Since You've Been Gone on Saturday, what a belter! Lenny Lenny, and I thought it was the Isley's "Behind A Painted Smile" as I played it especially for your birthday last year Mine has to be Linda Griner - Good-by Cruel Love and finally got round to buying it this year and yes I do play it out...........you try stopping me This is the record that moved me off the sofa and back on to the scene a few years ago after I heard it on Sound of the Sixties on radio 2 one saturday. QoFxx
January 19, 200916 yr Most of them been cover by previous posts. Last 3 or 4 DJ spots dropped Tony Martin - "Ask any man" on Motown. Big voice, big production quite an awesome dancer and very under rated and under played IMHO. Dave
January 19, 200916 yr Frank Wilson - Til you were gone I just love that one..... Someone said the Temps version of "Truly Yours" ....brilliant version IMO....did i once see a demo of this?
January 19, 200916 yr Temptations - "You're Not An Ordinary Girl" on Gordy, B side of "Beauty Is Only Skin Deep"
January 20, 200916 yr So many Top Northern Motown for me a few are: Barbara Mcnair- It happens every time JJ Barnes- Aint it the Truth Martha Reeves and Vandellas- In my Lonely Room Tammi Terrell- All I Do and This Old Heart of Mine Edwin Starr- SOS.
January 20, 200916 yr I just love that one..... Someone said the Temps version of "Truly Yours" ....brilliant version IMO....did i once see a demo of this? No you wouldn't have unreleased sadley. Another one by the Spinners What more could a boy ask for.
January 20, 200916 yr So many good tunes to choose from, which considering motown was the route to Northern for us old gits, isn't surprising really. Cant beleive no one has mentioned Marvin Gaye. This love starved heart of mine ( its killing me ) Steve

No but I know someone who does - not including the Oriole, Fontana, Stateside etc etc....I've had my HANDS on the entire TamlaMotown collection ALL on demo in stock bags....I did try stuffing them all up my jumper but I got rumbled
January 20, 200916 yr THRILL A MOMENT- KIM WESTON YES I DJ AND WOULD ALWAYS PLAY IT PURE CLASS. So you should. This was always 'Colin and Maureen's' record at These Old Shoes. When it was their 25th wedding anniversary, they came all the way back from Venice to make sure they were at TOS. It would have been rude NOT to play 'A Thrill a Moment' for such unswerving loyalty....and Colin seranaded Maureen on the dancefloor...how very very cool Happy days Edited January 20, 200916 yr by vinylvixen
January 20, 200916 yr Chris Clark - Head to Toe Dave Great record currently on must buy eventually list QoFxx
January 20, 200916 yr No but I know someone who does - not including the Oriole, Fontana, Stateside etc etc....I've had my HANDS on the entire TamlaMotown collection ALL on demo in stock bags....I did try stuffing them all up my jumper but I got rumbled if this includes tmg-786 and tmg-885,ill jump in the *kin river,
January 20, 200916 yr No but I know someone who does - not including the Oriole, Fontana, Stateside etc etc....I've had my HANDS on the entire TamlaMotown collection ALL on demo in stock bags....I did try stuffing them all up my jumper but I got rumbled Our kid had them all Oriele, Fontana, Stateside and all the 500seriesTMG's all demos says it took him. 13 years. No mean feat IMO. Let them go to buy a Harley Davison. Kev
January 20, 200916 yr God this is a hard one Wife's favourites are Barbara Mcnair - You're Gonna Love My Baby & Four Tops - I Can't Escape Your Memory. Me......most things sung by Levi Stubbs and the Detroit Spinners Don
January 20, 200916 yr if this includes tmg-786 and tmg-885,ill jump in the *kin river, Sorry, I should've put all issued TMGs - the Willie Hutch and R Dean Taylor were unissued.....
January 20, 200916 yr ISLEY BROTHERS ....... SEEK AND YOU SHALL FIND ..LP ONLY........... And Soul Satisfaction 4 - an excellent choice sir I'm a bit amazed to see one of my CDs for sale at £161!!!!!!!!!!!!! WTF
January 20, 200916 yr I would play out Four Tops......Clip My Wings Jimmy Ruffin.....I Will Never Let You Get Away more to follow ktf mal
January 21, 200916 yr Ill second G Knights "Shoes" And add, The Monitors "Crying in the night" Plus The Spinners "Memories of her love" Thing is, there are so many great Motown tracks, it would take a long time to add all of the ones I like to play!
January 21, 200916 yr Sorry, I feel mine beats all others. Perfect northern, perfect Motown and perfect vocals from the one and only Gladys Knight with Just Walk In My Shoes. 15k for Frank Wilson or £5 for Gladys.... no competition and yes, I play it out at every venue possible. Never tire of it. just there before me, it allways has been and it allways will be
January 21, 200916 yr Great record currently on must buy eventually list QoFxx Its a nice tune, that I picked up after Kev Moore played it at our place - one of several good tips I have got from Kev. My favorite today though is The Miracles 'Whatever makes you happy' Dave
January 22, 200916 yr Hattie Littles - Heart Trouble And Misery Stevie Wonder - Everytime I Go Wild Earl Van Dyke - Can You Jerk Like Me and loads of others!
January 22, 200916 yr ISLEY BROTHERS ....... SEEK AND YOU SHALL FIND ..LP ONLY........... Awesome track buddy
January 23, 200916 yr Sorry, I should've put all issued TMGs - the Willie Hutch and R Dean Taylor were unissued..... unless someone has these two uk 45s in demo format ????,i would love to know,
January 23, 200916 yr Changes all the time , and probably always will - but the one that comes back to the top more than any other ' just one last look ' by the Tempts . like a knife in the heart - every time I hear it I've cleared the floor a few times with it - but then always get some interest / thanks from someone for playing it - so I can live with that pete
