here goes :-
1. Dancing in the street - Martha & The Vandellas
2. Nowhere to run - Martha & The Vandellas
3. I'll keep holding on - The Marvelettes
4. Love ain't no toy - Yvonne Fair
5. When I'm gone - Brenda Holloway

Awww I'm sorry Brian, I understand that there are LOADS of fab motown tunes- even I could add tonnes to the list! But I thought maybe ten would be enough for now
Still, I've been more flexible than the lovely Carole- the limit on some of her polls is ONLY 3! and that's hard enough!
Liking some of your choices there Brian!
