The Chameleon Posted August 9, 2007 Report Share Posted August 9, 2007 (edited) mercy mercy mercy (praps not a motown song per se though)That is most certainly a Motown song.. it's by Marvin Gaye, it's on "What's going on" 1971.I also suggest...."Take me in your arms" by Kim Weston"Tracks of my tears" by Smokey Robinson & the MiraclesCool Jerk- The CapitolsIt's a shame- The SpinnersPapa was a Rolling Stone- The TemptationsHeatwave- the Supreames" Edited August 9, 2007 by Guest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Northern Wish Posted August 9, 2007 Report Share Posted August 9, 2007 mercy mercy mercy (praps not a motown song per se though)That is most certainly a Motown song.. it's by Marvin Gaye' date=' it's on "What's going on" 1971."[/quote']I believe its actually called Mercy Mercy Me (The Ecology). One of the most overtly political tunes that came out of the most political artist on the Motown roster that made it big. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob Not Bob Posted August 9, 2007 Report Share Posted August 9, 2007 The House That Jack Built - Aretha FranklinMy all time favourite motown tune (at least i think its motown)...that era anyway. Son of a Preacher Man (the Aretha version) Pretty sure that Aretha Franklin was in fact on Atlantic, not Motown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AD Posted August 9, 2007 Report Share Posted August 9, 2007 so this is limited to the motown label, or the motown sound?according to wikipedia, the aretha version was on Rhino Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meggo Posted August 9, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 9, 2007 i'm just looking for the sound. and really, anything else that you like lots from our parents' era. inna gadda davida [the long version] is one of his favourites Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Not Bob Posted August 9, 2007 Report Share Posted August 9, 2007 Continuing to be an insufferable nitpicker, but the Motown soul is very different from Aretha Franklin. The Motown sound was a very polished, clean sounding, pop soul, as opposed to the more funky, earthy sounds of the soul acts on Atlantic (like Aretha) and Stax ... I love both sounds, but they are very distinct from each other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
