Try a little tenderness otis redding

pure class :thumbsup:

I'm with Magneteer, R Dean Taylor would be in my top 5.

Tamla Motown.....those were the days.......

But what about Northern Soul.........?

Northern soul....

Has to be 'Cupids Inspiration' - Yesterday has gone

I used to work at Northern Soul nights including all nighters, the music for the most part was guaranteed to get your foot tapping and even dancing on the spot [not much room behind a bar] Can't remember any of the song titles but seem to remember some came off the Wigan Casino Classic albums.
Also some of the most energenic dancing I'd ever seen, 'break dancing' before break dancing was even heard of in America. I must admit I also liked the dress code and the general feeling that everyone was there to dance with no signs of fights what so ever. Sorry for going off topic!!

I like the following

'It's a man's world'
'Across 110th Street'

Joe

George Benson Greatest love of all Classic song :thumbsup:

Stevie Wonder's Uptight , and I Was Made to Love Her tend to cause pleasure. As does Smokey Robinson's Tears of a Clown, and Marvin Gaye's Heard it on the Grapevine. I like ALL Motown soul, to be honest because it reminds me of my very happy childhood.

Any duet by Marvin and Tammie, although I'm not sure about The Onion Song

Otis redding- mr pitifull -Dreams to remember. these arms of mine.
Judy clay and William Bell- private number.
Elle warren- shattered glass.
stevie wonder-a place in the sun.
Jimmy Ruffin- farewell is a lonely sound, forever my love.
Isley brothers- behind a painted smile, I hear a symphony.
Elgins- Heaven must have sent you. stay in my lonely arms.

The Tams - Be young be foolish be happy.
Tammi terrell- two can have a party.

tough one that, I was a big soul boy when i was younger.
I'd say these would be contending....

Aint no sunshine - Michael Jackson
Sweet love - Anita baker
Rainy night in georgia - brook benton
Slow down - Loose ends

Same here! I was brought up on Motown, and after I got through adam and the ants and other dodgy pop bands I found i came back to them and knew all the lyrics!!
The town I lived in as a kid (Widnes) was HUGE on motown and there was a big "TAMLA RULES" graffiti on one of the railway bridges that was there for years.
