(Finished April 4th, 2021) Part 3 of The Best of Motown: Songs 121-105

Hello,

Rolling Stone magazine has released their rankings of the Top 100 Greatest Motown Songs of All-Time. I agree with a lot of their choices, but I also disagree with a lot of their choices. I'm going through Rolling Stone's list, adding and subtracting as I see fit.  This will be 9 blogs of the Greatest Motown songs ever. There's just so much great music that came out of Motown. Included are songs that feel like they should be Motown songs or songs that are covers of Motown classics. I've also included songs from Motown subsidiaries like Tamla.

As always these blogs are living, breathing things I reserve the right to make changes as needed. Several of these songs I've never heard before, a few may grow on me or also completely fall out of favor.
