    This is our ninth episode in what appears to be developing into a never-ending series of every single Motown A-side, and it is also very special, because it the first show that really sounds like Motown.

    There are still a few oddities, and songs that are included solely for technical reasons, but for the first time, there are also a fair number of hits – or at least future hit artists still struggling to gain their footing. It’s an interesting show, and the music is fairly consistent from this point forward. This is about Motown, after all, so once the ball gets rolling, the hits start to come with breathtaking regularity.

    Here’s a list of songs featured in this program;

    This Is Our Night – The Creations

    Beechwood 4 – 5789 – The Marvelettes

    You Beat Me to the Punch – Mary Wells

    Camel Walk – Saundra Mallet & the Vandellas

    Stubborn Kind of Fellow – Marvin Gaye

    That’s What He Is to Me – The Wright Specials

    If It’s Love (It’s Alright) – Eddie Holland
