Motown Treasures

I'm only liking 11/22 om the Smokey but 14/20 on the Stevie.

Just currently listening to this new 20 track comp from Ace and for once with this kind of 'tribute' CD I am not disappointed with choices - largely I guess thanks to its title and subsequent lineup.
I have to admit I was squirming a bit when I saw it announced and was convinced we would see obscure and pointless versions just for rarities sake and (I guess they couldn't avoid it) they have include Aretha's wonderful, Until You Come Back to Me instead of an unheard version by Liberace.
I AM however very disappointed with the line up of the forthcoming Smokey Songbook set (I may be the only one) with a wealth of classic material I am sure they could have found better and less noodly versions to include.

Let's Get Serious - Jermaine Jackson
Tell Me Something Good - Rufus featuring Chaka Khan
Superstition - Quincy Jones
I Was Made To Love Her - The Bar-Kays
Jesus Children Of America - The Dixie Hummingbirds
To Know You Is To Love You - Margie Joseph
What Are You Going To Do With It - Betty Wright
Bad Weather - The Supremes
What Else Is There To Do (But Think About You) - Four Tops
Uptight (Everything's Alright) - Nancy Wilson
You're The One For Me - Marvin Gaye
Open Up Your Heart - LaBelle
As - Sister Sledge
Until You Come Back To Me (That's What I'm Gonna Do) - Aretha Franklin

We Had A Love So Strong - Randy Crawford
Don't Know Why I Love You - The Persuasions
Evil - Lou Rawls
