Best Opening Line of a Motown Song That IS the Song's Title:

[Boogiedown]

WANDA ROGERS & THE MARVELETTES - "I Can't Turn Around"
[[I can't turn around, I've got to stay here 'til the end. If nothing else, just let me be your friend)

MARTHA REEVES & THE VANDELLAS - "Leave It In The Hands Of Love" [[I'm gonna leave my troubles in the hands of love. Hope and pray every day love will find a way. Said I'm gonna leave it in the hands of love. And hope you'll see that our love, it was meant to be.)

DIANA ROSS and also VALERIE SIMPSON - "Now That There's You" [[Now that there's you, I can get up in the morning -- look down the lonesome road -- know that I have the strength to carry on -- now that there's you.)

SHORTY LONG - "Function At The Junction" [[I'm gettin' ready for the function at the junction and Baby you better come on right now.)

Hey, Boogie! Your two song-title threads are fun -- especially this one in which the title is the first words of the song. Keeps us coming back for more! Can't wait to see what you've got up your sleeve next! - Gary

thanks Gary ! Good stuff!


here's what I had jotted down :

STANDING IN THE SHADOWS OF LOVE
WAR!
KEEP ON TRUCKIN'
STOP! IN THE NAME OF LOVE ....
