    Damn. Forgot Little Stevie Wonder.

    Sir Duke and Superstitious probably top the list ...

    I forgot about Stevie also.

    Superstitious, For Once In My Life

    Was Sexual Healing recorded for Motown? If so, that's my favorite.

    No. That was on Columbia.

    "I Wish," Stevie Wonder.
    The entire album "What's Goin' On."

    Partly because of one particular night at karaoke, I'm going to go with "Papa Was A Rolling Stone."

    (Good God, "Papa Was a Rolling Stone" is one of the songs that makes me switch the station every time).

    Motown excellence is "What Becomes of the Brokenhearted" by Jimmy Ruffin.

    Completely off topic, but does anyone remember the "But Dad, it's Smokey" commercials on TV?

    Don't know where to start. But after browsing quickly through iTunes library, settled on these as a few:

    Let's Get It On, Marvin
    Your Precious Love, Marvin & Tammy Terrell
    Tears Of A Clown, Smokey Robinson & Miracles
    Ben, Jackson Five (I want to shoot myself for liking this song so much)
    Sir Duke, Stevie Wonder (Does this qualify as Motown?)
    Very Supertitious, Stevie Wonder (Again, qualify?)
    I'll Be There, Jackson Five
     
  10. What's Goin' On?
    Neither One Of Us (Wants To Be The First To Say Goodbye).
    Superstition.
