Alright, lemme give these a listen.
Also, I do not even know if the songs that I listed are actually Motown or not. I just kind of refer to all older black music as Motown, out of sheer ignorance on my part, but there is some very, very good music from that period of time.
Damn I really enjoyed both of those tunes. That was some really good American flavor right there.
Thank you kindly for the links, cripplecreek^^
