mfuqua23 Posted September 1, 2005 Report Share Posted September 1, 2005 If You Don't Know Me By Now - Harold Miner or Melvin and the Blue Notes. I forget it exactly. I remember listening to that song last summer. And "Mr. Postman" is the Supremes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JumpinJack AJ Posted September 1, 2005 Report Share Posted September 1, 2005 I love alot 60's and 70's music. I know about most of those artists u listed....but 4 many of them, i would only be familiar with a few of their songs each. I will say that Marvin Gaye is one of my favorite arstists of all time. The stuff he did with Tammy Terrell is amazing. Sam Cooke is amazing 2 me. Etta James' voice is amazing. And generally, anything on Motown is amazing 2 me. Every few months i pick up a CD filled with old stuff. Whether it's a greatest hits album by somebody or a compilation CD, i gotta dig deeper in2 old music from time 2 time.

JumpinJack AJ Posted September 1, 2005 Report Share Posted September 1, 2005 While we are on this topic...let me just say the Four Brothers soundtrack is dope. Since the movie took place in Detroit (yes, that means Marky Mark waz the illest white boy in Detroit for a few months...ha ha), they desided 2 load up the soundtrack 2 the movie with 70's and 60's Motown. For those that don't know...Motown's homebase waz Detroit. Back 2 the music tho', It's not the sugar coated happy Motown stuff. It's the heavier, darker side of Motown. I popped the soundtrack in when i got off work the other day. The music is just so good that i drove around for nearly 2 hours listening 2 it b4 i went home.
