First name Motown songs

[rovereab]

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.

Barbara's Boy- Four Tops
Treat Me Nice, John Henry-Supremes [[if it was DRATS, y'all know what I mean)
Stormy- Supremes [[ok, I know that's pushing it; however it is used and referenced as a name in the lyrics)

[Philles/Motown Gary]

Eamonn, since you requested songs that mention a name [[not necessarily in the title), my offering is for Diana Ross' "Sleepin" in which Diana sings, "Johnny put too much joy in his veins, and now you're tryin' to tell me he's gone."
