I love all the Motown hits mentioned above, but my all time favourite is 'Third Finger Left Hand', by Martha and The Vandellas. Second is The Four Tops with 'Can't Help Myself'.

This thread could run and run. There’s another 40-plus artistes not yet mentioned! There’s also a ‘Sheffield’ thread asking whether Lionel Ritchie was born at Grenoside. Obviously not from a Motown fan, but look out for a merge anyway!

Lionel Richie - All Night Long

The Tempations - Aint to proud to beg
Marvin Gaye - Whats going on
And is it Aretha Frankin who sings Respect and Rescue me?

Aretha did respect(along with Wilson Pickett IIRC) but it was Fontella Bass who did Rescue me.:thumbsup:

needle in a haystack......cant remember who it was by though

erm......

Otis Reading is my fav artist by far my fav song by him is prob. These arms of mine.

But my husband sings a song to me thats by The Stylistics called "You make me feel brand new" which i love as well. Way too many to choose from though.

I don`t think Otis was on Motown, and sure Stylistics were not on either.

i thought you meant style of music not label

My wrists are slapped.
