Ronettes-loved the Spector-ized WALL OF SOUND. I know-not everyone's taste. Just about any 4-Tops songs, particularly "Reach Out"; The Temps with Davy Ruffin. I know were going waaaay back now.

EW&F--man their horn section rocked and they're making a comeback of sorts thanks to Target commercials--I think there must be 3 EW&F songs, plus a redux of "September" changed to "December"-crass commercialism to be sure, but I loved that little guitar intro on that one.

Percy Sledge-When a Man Loves a Wo-mannnn. Holy crap. The man bled soul; That Philly sound with the Delphonics and the high falsetto leads. Makes ya wanna weep.
