I know it'd hard to pick just one...but mine is Cloud Nine by the Temptations.
Nice interview by the guys.

growing up it was "Ball Of Confusion"

"Can't Get Next To You"

"Get Ready" was another but i really dug the way Rare Earth covered it, guy had a great/strong voice...

Yeah..I forgot about that song....growing up Ball of Confusion was a great song.. If they recorded that song today it could have been called "Orange Ball of Failure" in honor of Billy.

"Tracks of My Tears" -- Smokey Robinson and The Miracles

Little Stevie Wonder's "Uptight (Everything's Alright)". If that's not the happiest song ever made, I don't know what is.

"Mercy, Mercy Me" by the incomparable Marvin Gaye. A powerful, thought-provoking song that I will never turn off if I hear it on the radio.

"Sure, radio had a simple dignity. But people wanted to see the grieving families. And, as usual, technology refused to be dignity's bitch."
---'The Daily Show' on the advent of television

Oh, by the way, which one's pinky?

Good call but technically (I'm sorry) that's a Stax-Volt song.

ajindc no shit, i had no idea. is the original version any good? -this may be a stupid question but how do i quote someone else, so i can stop bolding peoples names? <P> <P> <P>

I just meant to say that it was not a Motown recording, it was released on the Stax-Volt label. Sorry if I sounded condescending.

To quote text, you highlight the text from the post, right click, hit "copy", hit the "quote" button when you're going to respond, and then right click and paste the text in between the "quotes".

Yes, Stax-Volt was Memphis' answer to Detroit's Motown. Otis Redding, Sam and Dave ("Soul Man", "Hold On! I'm Comin'"), Wilson Pickett ("Mustang Sally"), Eddie Floyd ("Knock on Wood") were some of its biggest names. Booker T. and The MGs ("Green Onions", "Soul Limbo", Time Is Tight") was the house band. Two of its members, guitarist Steve Cropper and bassist Donald "Duck" Dunn, were in The Blues Brothers.
