I need more songs like this (Motown-R)

[maocontent]

O, another non-Motown tune to check for that you might find similarly 'hand-clappy' & 'feel good-ish': Continental Four - "The Way I Love You" on Jay-Walking. Pretty easy to find too.

Also highly recommended & Motown-afffiliated: Martha & the Vandellas - "Love Guess Who" - not "funky" at all - but a sweet sounding x-over track w/ sad, stalker-ish lyrics.

I think the main thing those songs have in common is that they are 'Motown that is acceptable to funk dudes'

another you might try is the Marvellettes 'Don't Make Hurting Me A Habit'

Dope break (on the 45 rpm anyway) that I've big upped a billion times up in here.

Peace,

Big Stacks from Kakalak

Yeah, same on the LP version too - tho, break or no break it's well worth bigging up a billion times.

Yeah, great track. Tons of feelin'! Not available on the Dream World LP, just 45.

Thanks for all the suggestions (keep 'em coming).

More songs I thought about in the vein of what I'm talking about:

Tammi Terrel: Baby Don't You Worry
Three Karats: Yes I Will
Doris Troy: Just One Look

 

[The_Hook_Up]

dont know if this fits the bill, but I thought I would share...a sister funk raer that I recently flipped over and discovered this nice little soul tune
Ann Bogus of the Fabulous Dominoes "Dont Ask Me to Love Again"

Ever hear Tammi Terrell Montgomery's James Brown-produced tracks on "Try Me?" Good stuff that can be bought cheaply.

Major label funky soul "jams" (an over used word I generally avoid but definately applicable in this case)

Three big ones off the top of my head would be:

Barbara Acklin - am i the same girl
TSU tornadoes- got to get through to you
Five Stairsteps - Stay Close to me
ummm
The ethics - I want my baby back, for sure

Barbara Mercer - Hey
Jackie Wilson -Helpless
Herman Griffin - are you for me or against me

Yeah, if you left me with those two tracks at our DJ night I'd likely queue up some of these records.

This thread was real inspiring, so I got my own request.

Anybody know of any Motown output similar to this song.



Brenda Holloway - Trapped in a Love affair.
