Guest Ohdistortedsmile1789 Posted October 13, 2006 Share Posted October 13, 2006 They were so much meatier than their contemporaries. Levi Stubbs was probably Motown's best answer to Southern Soul. And how could you not love songs like "Bernadette"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And how could you not love songs like "Bernadette"?I prefer 'The Temptations' in terms of meat. Lyrically, 'The Platters' had some very heavy stuff.

igyhi Posted October 14, 2006 Share Posted October 14, 2006 I think The Temptations are overrated. I prefer The Four Tops to them, but the best motown singer AND aritst of all the names is Marvin Gaye, and it's not eeeeeeeeeeeven close.
