This Old Heart of Mine - Isleys

timeless

Barbara McNair - "You're Gonna Love My Baby"

The Marvelettes "Poor Little Rich Girl"

Four Tops "Red Hot Love" is a real grower.

I'll try again....

Can't seem to get you out of my mind - Four tops

Running back and forth - Edwin Starr

for now......

H.

Monitors "Share A little Love", or Kim Weston "I'm Still Loving You" definitely do it for me.

4 Tops: Baby I Need Your Loving is still the greatest for me although one that's doing the business on the dancefloor over here in Dublin is

Supremes: You've Been So Wonderful to Me.

it's the flip of Some Things You Never Get Used to.......well worth checking out

Supremes: You've Been So Wonderful to Me.

John

Excellent often play it in my set

Mischief

all the early temps tracks. cloud 9 lp track-i gotta find a way. much better than jimmy ruffin-he who picks a rose. same backing track.

I quite like the following,

Barbara Randolph - I Got A Feeling

Marv Johnson - You Got The Love I Love

Frank Wilson - Do I Love You (sentimental reasons, had it played at my wedding)

But of course anything by Edwin Starr does it for me!

PROBABLY ONE OF THESE :

MIRACLES - IF YOUR MOTHER ONLY KNEW

TAMMI TERRELL - LONE,LONELY TOWN

ISLEYS - WHY WHEN LOVE IS GONE

Grant

Barbara McNair - Baby Agogo

Marvin Gaye - Lonely Lover

Marvin Gaye - Its Killing Me

Temptations - Come On Back To Me Baby

1 Martha Reeves No One There

2 Patrice Holloway A Touch Of Venus

3 Supremes He's all I Got

Wonder if Jo Wallace is reading this.

BTW she is on All singing all dancing next week. Expect some ballsy soul, and maybe the odd motown gem.

Two of my long standing faves:

Smokey Robinson & Miracles "More Love"

Martha Reeves & Vandellas "No More Tear Stained Make Up"

Glad this topic came up.

One of my faves is the unreleased Tommy Good - I've got to get away

Was this unearthed on a master tape or acetate? Anyone? And how out of order would I be if I put it on (and consequently played it from) a dub plate.

Temptations-Aiming At Your Heart

A modern track that hasn't crossed over to the main rooms yet,but it will,going be massive,a quality tune!

Cheers

Pete

the miracles- save me

gladys knight its too llate,temps forever in my heart ,temps tears in a womens eyes,gladys knight[maybe] you need me,tommy good get away,andantes like a nightmare,velvelettes let love live.

Brenda Holloway- I'll Always Love You

Marvin Gaye- Take This Heart Of Mine

Barbara McNair- You're Gonna Love My Baby

David Ruffin- On The Avenue

Marvin Gaye - Lucky Lucky Me

Just a few motown toons that i think are well worth giving a little bit of ear time-

MARVIN GAYE & TAMMI TERRELL - GIVE IN (JUST CAN'T WIN) - ALL I NEED LP

BUILD MY WORLD AROUND YOU

DONT LET ME LOSE THIS DREAM } SUPREMES & 4 TOPS - DYNAMITE LP

DO YOULOVE ME JUST A LITTLE

FOUR TOPS - LOVE FEELS LIKE FIRE - TAMLA MOTOWN

SOFTOUCH - AFTER YOU GIVE YOUR ALL - PRODIGAL

FANTASTIC 4 - PIN POINT IT DOWN - SOUL

Barbara McNair - steal away tonight- Here i am LP Motown

Edwin Starr - running back and forth - Gordy

Supremes - Your Heart belongs To me- Motown

David Ruffin - Rode By your place - Motown

and around a thousand others, jesus will now have to dig out david ruffin.........

well louise is that an old hemel hempstead biggie.

FOR Me ITS ;Love a go go: Stevie Wonder..

isley brothers : why when love is gone

I love Jack Hammer's "Swim" ......... funky, with great bongos..... sounds a little like Tom Jones!

and I've always had a soft spot for 25 miles and nowhere to run

also playing out barbara randolph version of can i get a witness which is nice and funky too.
