It´s difficult to select only five.......
- Baby I need your loving
- Reach out I´ll be there
- Which way is the sky
- Lonley lover
- Just seven numbers [[I like to hear the dialing ;-))

**jobucats** · 06-12-2019, 09:19 AM

This is one of the hardest survey questions in which to respond. My choices are not in any particular order:

Bernadette
Your Love is Wonderful
Something About You
I'm in a Different World
Since You've Been Gone

**woodward** · 06-12-2019, 09:35 AM

Bernadette
Without the One You Love
Something About You
Standing In the Shadows of Love
I'll Turn to Stone

**jobucats** · 06-12-2019, 12:19 PM

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
Baby, I Need Your Loving
I'll Turn To Stone

**Fourtopsbiggestfan** · 06-12-2019, 02:16 PM

Reach Out I'll Be There
Bernadette
It's the Same Old Song
Without the One You Love
Lonely Lover [[stereo version)

No apologies for all being HDH.

No one has included "You Keep Running Away" or "7 Rooms of Gloom" yet.

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?

**TomatoTom123** · 06-12-2019, 07:36 PM

Baby I Need Your Loving
I Can't Help Myself [[Sugar Pie, Honey Bunch)
It's The Same Old Song
I Got A Feeling
You Keep Running Away

Reach Out I'll Be There
7-Rooms of Gloom
Standing in the Shadows of Love

**Motown Eddie** · 06-13-2019, 04:36 PM

Tough Call but here it goes:
"Reach Out I'll Be There"
"Bernadette"
"Standing In The Shadows Of Love"
"I Can't Help Myself [[Sugar Pie Honey Bunch)"
"Something About You"

**bradsupremes** · 06-13-2019, 09:24 PM

This is tough because I love so many of their songs...

“You Can’t Keep A Good Man Down”
“I’m In A Different World”
“[[It’s The Way) Nature Planned It”
“Clip My Wings”
“Without The One You Love”

**Fourtopsbiggestfan** · 06-13-2019, 11:21 PM

Walk with me, talk with me
lost in a pool of red
it's a lonely world without your love
if you don't want my love, your love is wonderful

**nativeNY63** · 06-16-2019, 10:17 AM

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

**tmd** · 06-18-2019, 08:49 PM

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.
