Are you talking Motown or Soul?

Anyway: Bobby Womack. Across 110th Street.

Another non-hit northern soul fave by an obscure group, as beautiful and passionate a song as any.

Here's a less well-known Motown track by one of its biggest stars that pretty much explodes through your heart on the dancefloor.

Interestingly enough, Motown now belongs to a French company, Johnny Hallyday sings Diana Ross anyone?

Otis for me, but Tears of a Clown by Smokey comes a close second

What a fantastic era for songs, before my time of course - full of rhythm, great voices

For me the Spinners:

Could it be Im falling in love

The Spinners Could It Be I'm Falling In Love - YouTube

Well as that was Atlantic Records not Motown, I guess you mean the style rather than the actual label

For the label my choice will always be Four Tops Reach Out I'll Be There.

For the style, changes by mood but Otis Redding (Sittin' On) The Dock of the Bay
