I had a friend request a CD of all Motown music, and I'd like to make a nice compilation disc for his birthday. Can I get some suggestions from everyone on this? I'd like to stick to songs that were radio hits, or well known - I need to come up with 15 - 20 for the CD.  |

Let's see, Leese...
The Supremes-
Reflections
Love Child
The Happening
Temptations-
My Girl
I Can't Get Next to You
Papa Was a Rolling Stone
Jackson 5-
ABC
Never Can Say Goodbye
The Love You Save
And for kicks, throw on Rare Earth's I Just Want to Celebrate! They were Motown, after all!
Hope this helps!

Marvin Gaye - I Heard It Through the Grapevine, Let's Get it On, What's Going On, Got to Give it Up If you're going for old Motown, only I Heard It Through the Grapevine will work for Marvin Gaye. Unless you use Ain't No Mountain High Enough by Marvin and Tammy Terrell. |

I would include the first Motown hit, "Shop Around" by the Miracles .. That would be a must have on any Motown CD. Great choice. |
