"Never Can Wait For Love" "My Baby Must Be A Magician" "Shotgun" and "My Guy".
A symbol of The Motown Sound, IMHO it must be a HDH Song and one of The Supremes, I think The Supremes and HDH stand for Motown with The Album "The Supremes sing HDH / Motown"
my top picks would be You Can't Hurry Love and I Can't Help Myself. those define the 60s "classic motown sound" to me
After that, the motown sound evolved to a point where it was still excellent but not unique, in terms of a recording label. obviously in the late 60s, 70s and even 80s there was some very fine music coming out. and the artists began to establish more of their own brand and sound. but IMO the label didn't have a totally unique and original approach to music any longer.
Stop In The Name Of Love
Back In My Arms Again
I Can't Help Myself
Ain't To Proud to Beg
It's The Same Old Song
Bernadette
and lastly- Reach Out [[I'll Be There)

Difficult [[nigh on to impossible) question to answer because Motown's classical sound has enough different elements that no one song can represent it best. Just as it's impossible for me to choose even a "Top 100", it's impossible for me to choose a top 25 that could "best represent" The Classic Motown Sound".
Its decided I Can't help Myself is it, no question about it , I agree with the majority
