Your turn...

People tend to forget that these guys recorded on Motown. This is probably my favorite of their songs, and the lyrics are very relevant even after 50 years IMHO.

Rare Earth - Hey Big Brother

Workout Stevie, Workout - Stevie Wonder

Stevie sounds a little like a young Michael Jackson on this. Regardless, you can't beat his harmonica playing!

The Jackson 5 - I Want You Back

Speaking of Michael Jackson, he should put in an appearance in fitting with the Motown theme.

Five Stars...
Ooops, wrong voting method

(Come 'Round Here) I'm the One You Need - The Miracles

As I listened to this and followed along with the lyrics and I can see why these guys had so many hits over the years:

Now when you feel the need to cry to someone, cry to me
And when you feel the need to lean on someone, lean on me
Now I may not be the one you want, oh
But I sure 'nuff the one you need, oh, baby
I may not be the one you want, ooh
But I know I'm the one you need

The Supremes - Nathan Jones

This was one of their post-Diana Ross hit singles and also one of my all-time favorites of theirs. I like the phasing effects throughout it and you really need to listen to this through a set of headphones. Just an excellent piece of music. And with that, I'm off to bed, been too long of a day.
