Number 21 - Needle In A Haystack by The Velvelettes
The only song on my list that appears in Nick Hornby's "31 Songs", although other artists do (The Beatles, Jackson Browne, Aimee Mann, Bob Dylan and Van Morrison). I missed this 1964 release the first time round. Indeed it took Hornby and John Clarke's article below, to remind me how good Motown could OCCASIONALLY sound. And this is the only one that I could squeeze in.
So the brilliant When Will I see You Again by The Supremes is missing, and so is I Heard It Through The Grapevine by Marvin Gaye, Sam Cooke's Wonderful World, Smokey Robinson's Tracks of My Tears, The Temptations, Four Tops and Percy Sledge.
