Best female Motown songs

Got an audition for a Motown band need to come up with 3 songs to do that’ll have the most impact but be different from each other style wise. Scratching my head for somthing a bit different. Any ides?

Martha Reeves and the Vandellas – Heatwave

Tune and a half.

Diana Ross, Touch me in the morning. Maybe tough to pull off tho’. Avoid Dionne Warwick. Impossible to match the emotion.

Blimey I’d forgotten about Dionne Warwick. Good suggestions so far Heatwave is a lovely feel good song isn’t it

stoned love
the supremes

Midnight train to Georgia.

Stop! in the name of love……………Supremes

Oooooooooh all good keep ’em coming.

See Singletrack’s much easier than thinking for yourself isn’t it.

I may regret that comment in time to come 😆

jimmy mack
martha and the vandellas

dont leave me this way
thelma houston

classic…………. 8)

Not so well known but maybe some Chris Clark, less of a crowd pleaser but also less of a cliche

Not got speakers at work 🙁

Fontella Bass – Rescue Me

Torminalis – Member
Midnight train to Georgia.

+1. Gladys Knight. One of my top 5 songs ever

Dionne Warwick isn’t motown

nor is midnight train to georgia – just saying like

please mr postman
dancing in the street
you keep me hangin on
when you’re young and in love by the marvelettes is a corker
love child by diana ross is a bit good

Needle In a Haystack – Velvelettes

how gentle is the rain
that fall’s softly on my window
birds high up in the tree’s……………………………………….

that one, dont know the name or singer tho.

A song listing places to go rioting – brilliant.

Martha & The Vandellas “Dancing in the Streets”

This one Ton?

Oooooooooooooh yes thats a good one they have a proper brass section its a 12 peice so should be a decent sound

duntstick………………that’s the one
cracking song that is.

Pure class

(Yeah yeah, not Motown, but who cares!)

Aretha Franklin’s “Dr. Feelgood” has always been a favourite.

Where did our love go

My Guy

Was Candi Staton on Motown?
