    Music Videos - What songs would you have chosen?

    What classic Motown tracks would you have picked to have music videos done had music videos existed in the 60s and 70s like they existed in the 80s and beyond?

    Some of my picks:

    Love is Here and Now You're Gone - DRATS
    Love Child - DRATS
    Runaway Child Running Wild - Tempts
    Living For the City - Stevie Wonder
    What's Going On? - Marvin Gaye
    Mercy, Mercy Me - Marvin Gaye
    Inner city Blues [[Make Me Wanna Holler) - Marvin Gaye
    I'll Be There - Jackson Five

    Papa Was A Rollin' Stone - Temptations

    Back in the sixties, there was "music videos" jukebox-esque system called "Scopitone" in which to my knowledge, the only Motown representation from it was Billy Eckstine's "The Prime Of My Life".

    Let's see....would be neat Scopitones of, without the bikini-clad women, although sensibly-styled go-go girls are encouraged:

    - Supremes, "When The Lovelight Starts Shining Through His Eyes"
    - Miracles, "Going To A Go-Go"
    - Marvin Gaye, "Baby Don't You Do It"
    - Temptations, "Girl [[Why You Wanna Make Me Blue)"
    - Martha & The Vandellas, "Wild One"

    What a great question! I wonder if one day music videos could be created for such songs... in memory or honour of...
