I thought I'd set up a new iTunes playlist for Motown songs and came up with the idea of including songs where a first name is mentioned. These spring to mind but would welcome input from members here please:
Brenda - Four Tops
Anna's song - Marvin Gaye
Don't mess with Bill - Marvelettes
Angie girl - Stevie Wonder
I reckon the playlist will feature a nice interesting mix of songs across many artists.
Thanks.
