It has often been said that Motown recordings were aimed squarely at the pop charts, and were not as Soulful or Black as some of the other labels. This may be true of some recordings, however there are some tracks that could only be Black, and aimed very squarely at that market. This thought struck me yesterday as I listened to the Four Tops 'Something about you' - what a great piece of pounding R&B, and despite having heard it so very much, it still grabs my funk muscle and makes me twitch on the backbeat. Also most of Junior walkers mid sixties cuts fall into that category, as does The Temptations 'Ain't too proud to beg', and The Contours 'First I look at the purse'.
What other tracks fall into that category?
