    I Can't Help Myself
    It's The Same Old Song
    I Got A Feeling [[only a B-Side but I'm countin' it!)
    You Keep Running Away
    I'll Never Change [[also a B-Side)

    These ones represent best what I think of as the 'Motown Sound'...

    Reach out i'll be there
    walk away renee
    without the one you love
    7 rooms of gloom
    i can't help myself
    baby i need your loving.
    still waters
    do what you gotta do
    simple game
