I'm gonna have to go with Papa was a Rolling Stone for the epic intro.

Re: 5/9/15 The Temptations
I love old MoTown! I want to say the classic everyone always hears "My Girl" because it's great. But I really like the later years like the above mentioned papa was a rolling stone that sound like an opening theme for Starsky and Hutch or Shaft with the muted guitar and wahwah.
But I think I have to go with old Temps, "ain't too proud to beg".
But the disco era was like every other disco song.crap...... AWESOME! Who am I kidding? ...shhhhhhhh! If any of my music friends know I jammed KC and the Sunshine Band, I'll be thrown out of the club!

The Way You Do The Things You Do.
Yeah, okay, so it's pretty much just 8 bar blues doo-wop, and as such maybe not the most innovative song in the world (certainly not by 1964), but it's so happy and catchy and well done.

Re: 5/9/15 The Temptations
I'm gonna have to say "Can't Get Next to You". That's a great song with a lot of vocal range.

Re: 5/9/15 The Temptations
The Temptations are the best of their genre. I love all the songs mentioned.
My pick is "ain't too proud to beg", it's just so freaking catchy. It's an ear worm that never goes away, and I don't mind.
