Balcro Posted June 28, 2009 Share Posted June 28, 2009 As Nick says -- Difficult question there's so many! All of the same top quality. Signed, Sealed, Delivered - Stevie Wonder. Dancing in the Street - Martha & the Vandellas. I heard it through the Grapevine - Marvin Gaye. Road Runner - Junior Walker & the Allstars. If I were a Carpenter - Four Tops.

spike Posted June 28, 2009 Share Posted June 28, 2009 Motown, Smokey Robinson - I Second That Emotion Stax, Sam & Dave - Soul Man but I'll no doubt have two different favourites tomorrow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stingrayfan Posted June 28, 2009 Share Posted June 28, 2009 Neither Stax or Motown but similar ilk: Jackie Wilson - Sweetest Feeling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BottomEndian Posted June 28, 2009 Share Posted June 28, 2009 Apart from all the corkers above, Isley Brothers - "This Old Heart of Mine (is Weak for You)" Diana Ross - "I'm Still Waiting" (cheesy, I know, but there's just [i]something[/i] about it...) Martha & the Vandellas - "Nowhere to Run" And I've got a very soft spot for R. Dean Taylor's "There's a Ghost in My House". Cracking bit of Northern soul. It comes across kinda like a punk record, but a decade too early. In fact, I think The Fall covered it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coincidentally, she also did a corking version of "Sweetest Feeling". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
molan Posted June 28, 2009 Share Posted June 28, 2009 (edited) Motown - Ain't No Mountain High Enough the full length Diana Ross version, just listen to Jamerson on this especially from about 4:30 onwards: Stax - Watcha See is Watcha Get - mostly for the vocal harmony parts but also for the fabulous groove: Although in this version the suits and dancing are pretty impressive too! And before anyone mentions it I do know that the Dramatics original single was actually released on Volt rather than Stax EDIT - Given this weekend's events maybe I can add some early Jackson 5 songs as 'bonus' Motown choices? Check Jamerson on both of these (plus some more great dancing on the Soul Tarin coverage Edited June 28, 2009 by molan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
