Lost In A Pool Of Red - Four Tops. A very dark sounding intro, in line with the lyrics of the song. Would have been a good choice for the film Trainspotting.

How about we share our favourite string intros, perhaps giving the reasons why. Here's a couple from me.
You're All I Need To Get By - Marvin and Tammi. This string intro sets the scene to start a...
You Lost The Sweetest Boy - Mary Wells:

Inner City Blues - Marvin Gaye:

I totally agree Ollie9. Chain Reaction is an excellent reminder of the golden Motown years. The accompanying video is also full of fun but with important "reflection" on Diana's different looks over...
How about these laid back drum roll intros which set a very different feeling to the songs?
Still Water [[Love) - Four Tops
California Soul - Marvin & Tammi
Just thought of another - It's The Same Old Song by the Four Tops!
For me it is the drum roll intro to the originally released version of Mother Dear. It's like a call to attention and it sets the pace of the overall song.
There are many Motown songs which have...
I like the song and the video which I think shows the good vibes between Diana and Marvin. However, what sounds like an edit at track time 2:00 lets the recording down as it spoils the flow of the...
In the UK, Walk With Me was issued as a single, reaching no 32. Once again, Motown UK hit the nail on the head!

Luckily, Motown UK made the excellent decision to release Why as a single in the UK. As was mentioned above, the vocal performances on this song are first class.
Jimmy Mack/Third Finger Left Hand - I'm not sure if TFLH charted separately in the UK but it has always been a very popular song, to this day, at club Hen Nights and after wedding parties.
Perhaps...
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...
I love the playfulness in the Expo video of this song. Tammi had Marvin in the palm of her hand and I'm sure he loved it.

Completely agree Paul. I see that as constructive and respectful in a way that contrasts with the negatives of making Tammi sound a bit like Diana.
I think we are living in a world where technology can "do things" that were previously thought to be impossible. However, even though something is possible, it doesn't mean that it is worth doing.

This song can choke me up for so many reasons, including Tammi's struggle, yet, it is also so uplifting with theme of the lyrics focussing on the strength of love. A true Motown masterpiece. I...
Your favourite is my favourite too. It must have been so emotional hard for Marvin to see Tammi struggling in the recording studio during the sessions for this song. His "come on Tammi" and "Tammi...
He does, his voice is soulful. One of my all time favourite songs by Marvin and Tammi

Wow! From what I've observed at parties and functions, this Motown classic is as popular today as it was back in the day. Such a wonderful and uplifting song. I'm sure its popularity will go on for...
As discussed in this thread:

Less is often more. Once again simply, classy elegant and...
Sotosound, I thought I had posted something about this in the past but failed to find it via search so I assumed I had imagined it!
I did wonder if the songs on the Supremes Greatest Hits album...
The Isley Brothers 2 CD Anthology has a couple of very interesting stereo mixes of This Old Heart Of Mine and There's No Love Left. They both have the "sound" of the mono mixes in that the volume...
For me it is Back In My Arms Again. HDH provided great lyrics and production with The Supremes adding great vocals and class. Also, a fantastic performance by The Funk Bros. Wonderful.
