Hi y'all,
Yes Motown has at least a couple dozen that are all time great examples of simple, direct, songwriting. I'll choose Motown's most "unlikely" hit and maybe simplest, harmonically, as my all-time fave: The Temptations' "Papa Was a Rolling Stone" ... Mike I wish I could find Was Not Was' version with a "rap" break in the middle...But this one ain't too shabby http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LqLywFZELywAahhh....Here's the Rap in the middle... http://www.last.fm/music/Was+(Not+Was)/_/Papa+Was+a+Rolling+Stone Midnite
