    Great list, Eddie! BTW, I'm curious about the title of your #25 entry above. We're you subconsciously confusing The Crystals' "He's Sure The Boy I Love" with Mary Wells' "He's The One I Love"? HaHa! Had to ask! HeHe!!!

    Yep; I Made a big mistake with that one. The correct title is "He's The One I Love" [from Mary Wells' My Guy LP]. Thanks for the correction [and thanks for your posts-I love these Motown 'Brain Teasers'].

    I love your list, Bayou! You included a couple of super-important titles that I should have included in one of my two upcoming lists but failed to.

    I've prepared a couple of lists, as Motown's production of heart-felt love songs are far too many to squeeze onto just one single list.

    MOTOWN'S PRETTIEST [[Part 1)

    2) JIMMY RUFFIN - What Becomes Of The Brokenhearted
    3) M. GAYE & TAMMI TERRELL - You're All I Need To Get By
    4) MICHAEL JACKSON - Ben
    5) DIANA ROSS - All The Befores
    6) MARVIN GAYE - I'll Take Care Of You
    7) GLADYS KNIGHT & THE PIPS - If I Were Your Woman
    8) FOUR TOPS - McArthur Park [[Album Version)
    9) MARTHA & THE VANDELLAS - Happiness Is Guaranteed
    10) THE MARVELETTES - When You're Young And In Love
    11) M. GAYE & K. WESTON - Heaven Sent You [[I Know)
    12) DIANA ROSS - Ain't No Mountain High Enough [[Album Version)
    13) THE ORIGINALS - The Bells
    14) THE TEMPTATIONS - Just Another Lonely Night
    15) THE MARVELETTES - Now Is The Time For Love
    16) DIANA ROSS & MARVIN GAYE - You Are Everything
    17) STEVIE WONDER - Overjoyed
    18) JR. WALKER - What Does It Take [[To Win Your Love)
    19) MARVIN GAYE & TAMMI TERRELL - Ain't Nothing Like The Real Thing
    20) THE SPINNERS - Truly Yours
    21) DIANA ROSS - When You Tell Me That You Love Me
    22) SHORTY LONG - I Cross My Heart
    23) THE MARVELETTES - That's How Heartaches Are Made
