Toni & Chancellor:

I agree, just about everything, but off the top of my head:

My Baby Must Be a Magician
The Hunter Gets Captured By the Game� The Marvellettes
Tears of A Clown�Smokey Robinson and the Miracles
I Second that Emotion�Smokey Robinson and the Miracles (to this day one of the most wonderful records to have ever come out of Motown)
Cruisin�Smokey
That's The Way Love Is�Marvin Gaye (I actually like this cut better than I Heard It Through the Grapevine)
ANYTHING Stevie Wonder

Michael

A list would be inexhaustible for me, Tamla is my favorite of the Motown labels, and let me just shorten this by saying if it says Miracles, it is most definitely a favorite of mine!
