By Robb_K (66.81.23.186) on Wednesday, March 31, 2004 - 08:12 pm:

The Temptations (if a gun were pointed to my head), but it's sort of unfair to several other great artists to just pick one from all genres, together. It's not the same as picking 5 favourite songs by an artist or group.

By STONEWALL (68.237.125.253) on Monday, April 05, 2004 - 01:54 am:

One of the easiest questions that I've ever been asked.... and "It's a tie!"

Reminds me of the 1968 Academy Awards Show when I really wanted two different types -- both Katherine Hepburn and Barbra Streisand -- to win the Oscar for "Best Actress". And, guess what?? It was an incredible 'tie'. They both won!!

So, my Favorite Motown artist(s) {alphabetically) is/are:

MARTHA REEVES & THE VANDELLAS

============ and =============

DIANA ROSS & THE SUPREMES

Whew!! That was a close one, alphabetically.

Uh, oh! Record lists and record stores and music shops always list musical artists by the first word in a group name, not the last name of the lead singer, so, therefore, it's:

DIANA ROSS & THE SUPREMES

========== and ==========

MARTHA REEVES & THE VANDELLAS

Who says U can't have it both ways?

By Helene (217.32.166.37) on Monday, April 05, 2004 - 03:54 am:

The Four Tops.

No contest.

By STONEWALL (68.237.125.253) on Monday, April 05, 2004 - 04:01 am:

Hello! Helene,

Oh, there's a contest, trust us!

In fact, if U count the votes (1st choice), The Tempts are beating The Tops and I don't know who else is beating The Tempts. I have no horse in that race. I luv T'n'T both butt not over D.R.S. and M.R.V.

By Helene (217.32.166.37) on Monday, April 05, 2004 - 11:41 am:

Hi Stonewall,

I had to smile when I read your message. I, too, love the Tempts,D.R.S and M.R.V. But I guess if you could see into my soul you'd find Levi and the guys all over it.

For me, there's no one else in first place, although all of these artists hold a very special place in my life.

But I think you are right, it's a difficult race to bet on.

Thank God we'll never have to make the choice for real.
