[arrr&bee]

Some of my favorites:

- That'll Be The Day
- A Tear From A Woman's Eye
- My Smile Is Just A Frown Turned Upside Down
- Everybody Needs Love
- We'll Be Satisfied
- Angel Doll
- I Got Heaven Right Here On Earth
- Fan The Flame
- Born To Love You
- Smiling Faces Sometimes
- Truly Yours

I still do understand for the life of me why "That'll Be The Day" was never released as a single. It would have been a huge hit for them. One of my all-time favorite Motown songs.

I agree. "That'll Be The Day" is a great 'Motown Record'. There's everything but the kitchen sink on that track!

It also includes The Andantes.

Maybe it was completed around the time The Temptations said they did not want female voices on their records...and so, sadly, was just passed over....?

First thing I thought of were all the non-hits off the "Whole Lot Of Soul" album, plus all those earlier "b" sides like "You've Got To Earn It" and "Baby Baby I Need You".

Oh..just re-read the "cult" part, but I'm standing by my choices. Maybe hits BITD, but most rarely played today.

[robb_k]

1) A Tear From A Woman's Eye
2) You're My Everything
3) I Want A Love I Can See
4) Don't Look Back
5) Mind Over Matter
6) Farewell My Love
7) The Girl's Alright With Me
8) Oh Mother of Mine
9) Dream Come True
10) Paradise

"You'll lose A precious Love" just missed. I left off most of the better-selling charted records.

[Motown4Ever518]

You're Not An Ordinary Girl. Tough Track, Delicious Drumming, Hair Raising Harmonies, what else can I say except this song counts for at least 5 Cult Songs.

Only 10, eh? Well I guess most of my choices have already been named in previous posts, but Born to Love You, Fading Away, You Got to Earn It, You'll Lose A Precious Love, Who's Loving You, I've Been Good To You, Don't Look Back, Paradise, Just Another Lonely Night and I Truly Believe would be a good start in my book.
