Got an audition for a Motown band need to come up with 3 songs to do that'll have the most impact but be different from each other style wise. Scratching my head for somthing a bit different. Any ides?

Diana Ross, Touch me in the morning. Maybe tough to pull off tho'. Avoid Dionne Warwick. Impossible to match the emotion.

Oooooooooh all good keep 'em coming.

See Singletrack's much easier than thinking for yourself isn't it.

I may regret that comment in time to come 😆

Not so well known but maybe some Chris Clark, less of a crowd pleaser but also less of a cliche

Aretha Franklin's "Dr. Feelgood" has always been a favourite.
