Mine is Send me No Flowers. I get chills from that song: Diana's voice is haunting, and I would say the lyrics may well be HDH's best for the Supremes, and definitly my favourite. I like to make up my own verses around the theme as I love flowers and people like the person described in the song by the singer are a huge pet peeve of mine. Only today the song would be Send me No Whatsapp Messages, or at least based on my own experiences with emotionally constipated men.
"You Don't Love Me No More" - Gladys Knight & The Pips.
For a while, when someone I was in love with completely broke my heart, If I were Your Woman was my song. Made me cry but feel better too.
but..... Didn't You Know [[You'd Have To Cry Sometime)? Gladys did.
"It's My Turn"...
I would add Brenda Holloway's Every Little Bit Hurts"... Brenda's vocal and the way she is in absolute control of the song is amazing... and chilling indeed :D
"Neither One of Us [[Wants to Be the First to Say Goodbye)." Full stop.
That's what I was going to choose. One of my favorite songs period.Quote:

Neither One of Us
but also, among several by Smokey, these two:
When I'm Gone
You'll Lose a Precious Love
"And I thought you loved me,
when I saw that loving feeling in your eyes.
And I thought you loved me,
but you were only kissing me goodbye."
And I Thought You Loved Me - The Supremes. [Also a great version by Marbaya.]
The Four Tops- BRING ME TOGETHER, IF YOU DON'T WANT MY LOVE, I'M SO AFRAID OF LOSING YOU, JUST ONE LAST LOOK [[The Temptations version too)
The Temptations- I NOW SEE YOU CLEAR THROUGH TEARS,
"Forever Came Today" sent it to a girl I was dating on Valentines Day, as work got more busy working on the radio I decided to sell all my disco equipment and went with a mate for three weeks in the USA, visiting yes Detroit & Philly, she was not Happy and we broke up. When she got married she asked me if I would do a spot for her on the disco she had booked as we remained friends then, you can guess what single I managed to fit in LOL! Never met anyone else?
Oh wow the memories behind the Black Majic album
"In and Out of My Life," Martha Reeves and the Vandellas -
In Fact that is what I call my break up album and I will always say Martha was killing it.
"Tear It Down"
"No One There"
"I hope I don't get My Heart Broke"
"I Have Given You the Best Years of My Life"
All were good for wine and cursing.
^ ["Tear It Down"
"No One There"
"I Have Given You the Best Years of My Life"
All were good for wine and cursing.]
Yes. Thank you.
Since I Lost My Baby - Temptations
My first ever gf... when we broke up it was The Four Tops " I just can't walk away"... bawled my eyes out when i heard that song
Another: Just Another Lonely Night - Temptations. The way Paul sings it you'd think he was speaking from real experience. A tearjerker as far as I am concerned.
What becomes of the broken-hearted!!
Ugh. Why did I forget to mention:
Marvin's Just to Keep You Satisfied!
'Cos We've Ended Now As Lovers - Syreeta.
That was a good oneQuote:

Nobody could identify with the pain of a broken heart like Motown:
Diana Ross - "After You"
Diana Ross - "Never Say I Don't Love You"
The Contours - "It's So Hard Being A Loser"
Diana Ross - "All The Befores"
The Spinners - "Truly Yours"
Valerie Simpson - "Back To Nowhere"
I totally forgot this one while thinking about breakup songs. Yes, yes, yes! I second this emotion!Quote:
