    I Got a Feeling, I Got a Feeling, I Got a Feeling, I Got a Feeling and I Got a Feeling.

    What's that? Oh you mean I have to name five DIFFERENT songs. Well if you insist........

    I Got a Feeling, I'll Turn to Stone, Something About You, Without the One You Love, and I Just Can't Get You Out of My Mind.

    It is just an impossible task. I cannot narrow it down to five, but these are the five i am currently feeling. If you ask me again tomorrow i would no doubt respond differently.

    Reach out i'll be there

    Although I know we can actually do so, is anyone else considering going back to edit your list based on a choice someone else mentioned that you wished you had included? Are you also seeing some choices that you would have not even included even in a top 50 list? Ain't it great how our tastes are so similar yet we do have some strong differences? I love it.

    Lol. I didn't post right away because I had to really think about it. I'm glad I did because I was reminded by the posted lists of some I might have forgotten. It really is hard to list only five.

    Something About You
    It's The Same Old Song
    Shake me, Wake Me

    I was tempted to use "7 rooms of gloom" and still am to be honest! I also wonder how i could leave out "without the one you love" and "standing in the shadows of love", but what could i take out of my original list?

    I agree with Bernadette too. Sugar pie Honey Bunches was in a Duncan Hines Cake tv ad back in the day.

    1 Reach Out- greatest song ever made- Levi voice, Andantes back up and the great JJ on bass, plus the 13 year old gal who starts it all off with a flute, I am also certain that is HDH favorite- which is saying a lot.
    2 Sugar Pie Honey Bunch- number one all summer long in my hometown of Detroit- probably next to My Girl the most recognize song in Motown history. Plus another out of this world bass by JJ, that makes the song
    3- Ask The Lonely- One of the great vocals ever made and by far the Andantes greatest contribution to music
    4- Still Waters- great Smoke song and another great JJ bass
    5- When She was My Girl- wow this was in the 80's and sounds just as great as it did back in the day- great vocal bass by Obie Benson.
