Respect-otis redding
Interesting. We were talking about him and that song just this week. Also interesting is that he died 49 years ago this week on December 10, 1967:

Wow, didn't realize we were so close to the date Otis passed. Thanks for the info Marv.
In memory of, here is my favorite by, Mr. Otis Redding.
Call me Mr. Pitiful
Baby, that's my name now, oh
Call me Mr. Pitiful, that's how I got my fame

I want you to be my girl-frankie lymon an the teenagers.
Where is that girl-the spinners
A boy named tom-carla thomas
You broke my heart 'cause I couldn't dance,
You didn't even want me around
And now I'm back to let you know I can really shake 'em down
The Contour's Do You Love Me!! Still can get down to this one...

My favorite by Miss Martha and her Vandellas....

Another Motown Classic from the early days by the great singer/songwriter Barrett Strong....

I wanted to wish everyone a Happy Holiday. This song still true today as it was then
Sing it Stevie...
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cz5I8_KcN1E
I will be honest and say I generally listen to the The O'Jays version of this song so it's been a while since I heard New Birth's. Still enjoyable....
Let her cry, for she's a lady
Let her dream, she's a child
Let the rain fall down upon her
She's a free and gentle flower growing wild

This was the anthem on our school bus when I was in high school. Every kid would stop what he was doing and sing this word for word.

I'm still a big Steve Arrington fan. This song was my favorite of his when he was with Slave:

And here's the song that broke him as a singer. I love Mark Adams' bass playing.

Let's wait awhile-janet jackson
That reminds me of this video. I used to love watching it. That was easily one of my favorite videos from the '80s. Janet was, in my mind, the personification of youth back then even though we're about the same age. The camera following her around with few edits was a fantastic way to bring this tune to life in video.

If you're going to put SOLAR era Whispers into the mix, don't forget their first hit for the label [[still one of my favorite cuts by one of my favorite outfits). This is when Leon Sylvers came into his own as a truly great producer and musician.

And here is one of their tracks from later in the run on the label. What a great group.
