Motown Party Playlist!

[TomatoTom123]

Y'all... I'm trying to put together a Motown Party playlist!!! The tracks have to be about celebrating, partying, dancing, or just good times. And of course they have to be upbeat and danceable. For example... "Dancing In The Street"... "Shotgun"... "Function At The Junction"... "Dancing Machine"...! Got any?

Hi Tom, It’s been manic for the past few weeks.
Always best to put some well known favourites in so as not to alienate those who don’t know the lesser known acts.

Stevie’s Uptight and I Wish, Miracles – Love Machine and a couple 80s stuff like Rick James Glow, Temps Treat Her Like A Lady even Stevie’s Part Time Lover.

All the best Paul

Hi Paul, yea, that's a good idea. I'm trying to keep the songs party/dance themed but I will throw in classics like "I'm Coming Out" which everyone will know.
