The local "oldies (60s/70s/80s) station played a couple of Norman Whitfield songs back-to-back in tribute this morning.
Ain't Too Proud to Beg, I Heard It Through the Grapevine and Car Wash.
If *I* had been programming it (:)), I would have gone the Motown girl group (non-Diana Ross division) route.
Needle in a Haystack and Really Sayin' Something by the Velvelettes and Too Many Fish in the Sea by the Marvelettes.
I remember all three songs with great affection from my CYO dance days.
