Now Robb - this is just IMPOSSIBLE.

We need 50 as a minimum. LOL

By Robb_K (66.81.16.228) on Tuesday, March 30, 2004 - 10:32 pm:

That's the point- we've had top 5 of three other Motown groups, so I decided do take a poll of the rest. Surprisingly, I've been able to cut mine all off at 5 (albeit missing some favourites-but being able to pick one over another, with the proverbial gun pointed to my head).

By LadyMystique (216.37.228.72) on Tuesday, March 30, 2004 - 10:33 pm:

Yeah LOL!

Don,

You might be talking about Let's Jam, from the Indestructible LP.

Great song! It was on Arista (1988).

By MargieYa (68.165.183.17) on Sunday, April 04, 2004 - 04:52 am:

1. Walk Away Renee
2. Till You Return to Me
3. A Simple Game
4. If My Heart Could Sing
5. The Four of Us

Everyone - this tops the list of about (as someone else said) 50 of my favorites. You can't just narrow it down. Every song that was posted here I love, and with the exception of Walk Away Renee, those I listed are relatively little know songs - but they are great nevertheless. The last one I cannot bear to hear anymore, because Lawrence Payton wrote it...that song says it all!!

5. IT'S THE SAME OLD SONG

By STONEWALL (68.237.125.253) on Monday, April 05, 2004 - 03:54 am:

"Something About U" is a bad-ass, grinding, driving song by The Tough Tops. I had it in my mental list as I was planning but "That's The Way Nature Planned It". So, I'll add "SAY" (great acronym) as my 'super bonus' choice. Thanx Tony Toni for reminding me! Spoken w/ Betty Vandella lately?
