    Cool MOTOWN's HOTTEST DANCE TRACKS [[1963-1990's)

    The survey of Motown’s "Hippest, Coolest & Most Suave" [[mid-tempo tracks) went over like a lead balloon [[sorry), so let’s pick up the momentum where it left off [[at "Motown’s Prettiest") and get the ball re-rolling with "Motown’s Hottest Dance Tracks". Starting with 1963 and 1964, Berry Gordy’s Motown Record Corporation was consistently "gettin’ down" – one dynamite hit after another – and it continued into Motown’s post-Gordy 1990's. Everybody’s got a favorite Motown dance track or two. Put on your thinking caps again, fellow Motowners -- what would be on your list of personal favorites for a night of record-hop, sock-hoppin' Motown? It can be Motown singles, Motown album tracks, or even previously-unreleased Motown recordings. The choice is yours. There’s a treasure trove to choose from. Here are just a few of mine to get you started [[and this list is just a start):
