    Anyhoo, Reflections is easily my fave, followed by Indiana Wants Me by R. Dean Taylor.

    My vote too. Love that song. And it's an essential karaoke track.

    Me, too. Don't really care for much Tempts after David Ruffin was kicked out, "Just My Imagination" being a major exception.

    The first 30 seconds of "You Haven't Done Nothin' " give me chills every time I hear it. That song never gets old for me.

    This thread begs the question: Is Motown music the greatest collection of music/artists ever? I mean this in terms of the ultimate crossover appeal.

    I ask this only because I had several friends who are hardcore metal heads and while they openly mock country and top 40, when it comes to Motown, they absolutely love it, especially 70s Stevie Wonder when I would play it in the car or around the apartment of whatever.

    Granted, 70s Stevie Wonder is pure genius, but you get what I mean.

    We'll have to disagree about Papa was a Rolling Stone. But I totally agree about Just My Imagination. Great song.
