I liked "Tears of a Clown" so much, it caused me to look up the script for the opera with Pagliacci and read it, just to understand the reference. Now that's a true fan!wwolfenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36596203.post-33395046370462497022010-02-22T11:24:03.574-08:002010-02-22T11:24:03.574-08:00I'm with you on the Spector girl groups, Debs....I'm with you on the Spector girl groups, Debs.

I hope Dexy is somewhere still feeling the love we have for this song!Holly A Hugheshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17828633442418722187noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36596203.post-2623546798035863452010-02-20T17:42:12.266-08:002010-02-20T17:42:12.266-08:00Come On Eileen is DEFINITELY in my top 10!

I was gonna get some Marvin Gaye on here, but the other night I saw an old video of his in his Sexual Healing phase and I realized how much that put me off. And the Supremes, I never did like them (though my girlfriends and I had a mean routine worked out to Stop in Name Of Love.) There's a possibility you may see some Stevie Wonder up farther on the list, though...Holly A Hugheshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17828633442418722187noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36596203.post-80283330645881837992010-02-20T10:25:45.800-08:002010-02-20T10:25:45.800-08:00It's nice to see the Four Tops in this list. :...It's nice to see the Four Tops in this list. :) I'm not sure if I can say that I love them more than the Temptations but they're surely among my most favorite Motown bands. <br /><br />P.S. I feel like I'm spamming today, but I was way too busy to read anything during the week and I would be able to say anything. :) So I was waiting for this weekend to come along to be able to comment.Vivalabeathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11636432690758432319noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36596203.post-4432500135710136482010-02-20T09:57:39.009-08:002010-02-20T09:57:39.009-08:00forgot....COE....great!!forgot....COE....great!!Debshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06444652821620225433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36596203.post-58585580322067780172010-02-20T09:56:39.755-08:002010-02-20T09:56:39.755-08:00Not much to say today, none of these are outstandi...Not much to say today, none of these are outstanding to me..and I love Motown.<br />Withers is a country boy from southern WV..just never cared for that tune.Debshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06444652821620225433noreply@blogger.com
