Motown Mix Tape

I made a friend of mine a Motown mix tape. I make him a lot of these things, but thought for Motown's 50th that I would dare squeeze as much as I could on to a 78 minute CDR. It wasn't as tough as I thought. I narrowed the big names down to 2 songs, except for Marvin Gaye who got 3 because of a duet. Then I cherry-picked the best known Motown songs from Jr. Walker, Isleys, Gladys Knight, Jackson 5, etc, all who got one. As for modern Motown, only the Commodores got a mention, as I figured Rick James' "Super Freak" would be to salacious for him to play at work. In the end it came out to 25 songs on one disc. A pretty good representation of Motown's 50 years.
