serious kick ass motown

Filed under: — adrian @ 12:03 pm

Me and the roomies are having a party tonight. (yes, I know that sentence that is grammatically incorrect and I don’t care.) I am preparing a Serious Kick Ass Motown playlist. [Technically Sam Cooke and a couple other of these artists weren’t on the Motown Label but they’re close enough.] People will want to shake their bootie.

Go ahead and prepare this play list at home at tell me that your bootie doesn’t shake.

Without further delays, here is the playlist:

  1. My Girl The Temptations
  2. The Tracks Of My Tears Smokey Robinson & The Miracles
  3. Baby I Need Your Lovin’ The Four Tops
  4. Don’t Mess With Bill The Marvelettes
  5. Cupid Sam Cooke
  6. I Want You Back The Jackson 5
  7. Chain Gang Sam Cooke
  8. Twisting the Night Sam Cooke
  9. I Heard It Through The Grapevine Marvin Gaye
  10. How Sweet It Is (To Be Loved By You) Marvin Gaye
  11. (What A) Wonderful World Sam Cooke
  12. Going To A Go-Go Smokey Robinson & The Miracles
  13. Ain’t Nothing Like The Real Thing Marvin Gaye & Tammi Terrell
  14. I Can’t Help Myself (Sugar Pie Honey Bunch) The Four Tops
  15. Jimmy Mack Martha And The Vandellas
  16. Someday We’ll Be Together Diana Ross & The Supremes
  17. You Can’t Hurry Love Diana Ross & The Supreme
  18. I Second That Emotion Smokey Robinson & The Miracles
  19. Please Mr. Postman The Marvelettes
  20. This Old Heart Of Mine The Isley Brothers
  21. Stop! In The Name Of Love Diana Ross & The Supremes
  22. The Tears of a Clown Smokey Robinson & The Miracles
  23. My Guy Mary Wells
  24. Twenty-Five Miles Edwin Starr
  25. Dancing In The Street Martha Reeves & The Vandellas
  26. Where Did Our Love Go Diana Ross & The Supremes
  27. Ain’t No Mountain High Enough Marvin Gaye & Tammi Terrell

Some song names you might not recognize, but you’d probably recognize the tunes, that is, if you listened to oldies/ motown stuff.
