Motown's prettiest

[Philles/Motown Gary]

Throughout the 1960's, 70's, and ‘80's, Motown released an incredible number of irresistible dance tracks, long before [[and after) it was called Disco. By the same token, Motown was famous for an array of beautiful ballads. If you were to compile a CD [[or equivalent) of "Motown’s Prettiest", what tracks would you include? This could be any Motown track from the 1960's through Motown’s last release in the 1980's. Calling out around the world, Motowners – put on your thinking caps and see what you come up with. The following would be my list, which is by no means complete nor in any particular order. Just a start:

Alone; People [[Diana solo from The Supremes' "Funny Girl")

Made; Seeing Is Believing; Now Is The Time For Love;

"Motown's Prettiest - Volume 1":

1. Diana Ross - Ain't No Mountain High Enough - 1970
2. Four Tops - Still Water [[Love) - 1970
3. Jermaine Jackson - Daddy's Home - 1973

4. The Originals - Keep Me - 1971 - Yeah, I know, there's a selection of just about everything else in their catalog, notably the Originals / Marvin Gaye collaborations, BUT, throw it in there, they punch it, my opinion, more potently than Liz Lands', to a [[pretty) awesome soulful begging that should melt any one's stone heart to mush.

5. Diana Ross & the Supremes & the Temptations - I'm Gonna Make You Love Me - 1968 - THIS was THE song, when first listened to it, that solidified golden "I'm gonna be a Motown Maniac!".

6. Fantastic Four - I Feel Like I'm Falling In Love Again - 1969
7. Michael Jackson - Girl, Don't Take Your Love From Me - 1972

8. Martha Reeves & the Vandellas - My Baby Loves Me - 1966 - But really, I coulda chosen any of their numbers here, Martha's one of my favorite Motown voices

9. Mary Wells & Smokey Robinson - I Want You Round' - 1963
10. Kim Weston - Lookin' For The Right Guy - 1964
11. David Ruffin - Just Let Me Hold You For A Night - 1977
12. Supremes - Touch - 1971

13. Marvin Gaye & Tammi Terrell - Good Lovin' Ain't Easy To Come By - 1969 - Again, any of them would be just as adoringly fine, and any other choice would be predictable anyways - so rip-roar with this - Good Lovin', Good Lovin', Good Lovin', Honey!

14. Dynamic Superiors - Shoe Shoe Shine - 1975
15. Jackson Five - All I Do Is Think Of You - 1975
16. Switch - My Friend In The Sky - 1980
17. DeBarge - All This Love - 1982

Huh?

OK - if MotownGary qualifies SOME Post MCA acquisition Motown - as some new does mean quality as well - then I nominate:

- Johnny Gill - Let's Get The Mood Right - 1996
- Brian McKnight - Love Of My Life - 2001

And I just LOVE, LOVE Toni Braxton / Kenneth Babyface Edmund's "Love, Marriage, and Divorce" as well, but let's face it - that one's just too "real" with so many downers...

[marybrewster]

Stevie Wonder: Overjoyed

[soulster]

Stevie Wonder - You and I
Temptations - Just My Imagination
Jackson Five - I'll Be There
Temptations - A Song For You
Martha & the Vandellas - My Baby Loves Me


Oh yeah! To me, these songs fit the definition of "pretty". I will add Syreeta's "Spinning And Spinning".

[Philles/Motown Gary]

[QUOTE=Ngroove;249694]

OK - if MotownGary qualifies SOME Post MCA acquisition Motown - as some new does mean quality as well - then I nominate:

Well, Ngroove, I'm scratchin' my head here in uncertainty because I had originally meant Berry Gordy's Motown [[through and including 1987), but, the more I think about it....what the heck! If it's on the Motown label and it's pretty, why not?

In that case, we've GOTTA add Diana Ross:
- If We Hold On Together;
- Heart [[Don't Change My Mind);
- One Shining Moment
- When You Tell Me That You Love Me [[Original Solo Version)
- When You Dream
- Someone That You Loved Before

[Philles/Motown Gary]

Jeez, I inadvertently left out one of my 1970's favorites:

Diana Ross - Too Shy Too Say

And, as many of you have listed:

Martha & The Vandellas - My Baby Loves Me

Thanks for pointing out Diana Ross' "After You" -- one of Michael Masser's prettiest.

Two additional Diana tracks that I'm guilty of having left out are:

- I Thought It Took A Little Time [[But Today I Fell In Love);
- To Love Again [[so French; so romantic; so beautiful; so Diana!)

[Philles/Motown Gary]

To 144man: Wow! You really did your homework and then some! This list of Motown's prettiest ballads could go on forever if we let it. How about:

My Volume 2 - "Baby Come Close" - Callin Volume 1 "Ain't No Mountain High Enough":

1. Smokey Robinson - Baby Come Close - 1973
2. Miracles - Ooo Baby Baby - 1965
3. Junior Walker & the All-Stars - Take Me Girl, I'm Ready - 1971
4. Four Tops - [[It's the Way) Nature Planned It - 1972

5. Syreeta - Quick Slick - 1981 - OK, I don't know if any one of you counts what sounds to me like her funkiest as "prettiest" - but, c'mon, seriously, maybe it's always just been her voice, but even that's overflowing with ADORABLE!

but, if doesn't count:

5. Syreeta & Smokey Robinson - First Time On A Ferris Wheel - 1985

6. Eldra DeBarge - Someone - 1986
7. Diana Ross & the Supremes & the Temptations - This Guy's In Love With You - 1968

10. Michael Jackson - Cinderella Stay Awhile - 1975
11. Jermaine - Paradise In Your Eyes - 1981

12. Bunny DeBarge - A Woman In Love - 1986 - OK, to be honest, that entire album must be, or would be really, really super nice, to be CD-ed ASAP, or sometime in my lifetime.

14. Stacy Lattisaw - Let Me Take You Down - 1988
15. Diana Ross - When You Tell Me You Love Me - 1991

To 144man: Wow! You really did your homework and then some! This list of Motown's prettiest ballads could go on forever if we let it. How about:

- The Undisputed Truth - Girl You're Alright;
- Michael Jackson - Music And Me
- DeBarge - Who's Holding Donna Now

I restricted my choices to one track for each act. I also tried to stay away from the obvious tracks, though it was always going to be impossible to avoid choosing one of Gladys Knight & the Pips' A-sides.

[arr&bee]

I just can't walk away-the four tops..honey brown-eddie kendrick..just like you-dennis edwards..it's time to go now-gladys knight..when sundown comes-the miracles..your precious love-marvin an tammi..he's the one i love-mary wells.

[Philles/Motown Gary]

I restricted my choices to one track for each act. I also tried to stay away from the obvious tracks, though it was always going to be impossible to avoid choosing one of Gladys Knight & the Pips' A-sides.

I considered limiting one track per artist, but, hey, with Motown, that's just downright impossible. Go ahead, 144man, list as many as you want for any given artist, no matter how obvious the song titles may seem. Just try to stick with slow to mid-tempo ballads 'cause we're gonna do some uptempo ones in the near future.
