Motown's Rare Earth label

[no_place_like_motown]

There were quite a number of songs that I bought on the RE label when they were released that I really enjoyed and still play today.

The first song I purchased was "Temptation 'Bout To Get Me" by the Virgil Brothers in 1969, which was originally recorded by the Knight Brothers on Chess. Unfortunately, the song was not included on TCMS, Vol. 9 because it was licensed by Motown at the time and unavailable for inclusion on the CD series. The song was recorded in 1968 and was a top 30 hit in Australia. I have 4 versions of this song in my collection; the other three are by the Knight Brothers, Billy Stewart and the Rascals. To my ears all 4 are great!

Feel free to add your favs from the RE label!
