Who are your favourite artists/songs from this extraordinary period in pop music history? You can always depend on Motown music to pick you up. The energy, the distinctive "wall of sound", the beat, the variety of talented artists under one umbrella etc. This thread is not limited to Motown but also soul and funk.

To get us started;

Jr. Walker & The All Stars
Sam & Dave
Marvin Gaye
Martha Reeves & The Vandellas

My favourite song at the moment? Jr. Walker & The All Star's version of "How Sweet It Is" Just listen to that sax. Surely an influence on the late Clarence Clemens?
