| As compliled by Lighthouse DJ Service | Motown Turns 40 This Year / 1999 |

Keeping in mind that Motown was a record label put
together by Berry Gordy in Detroit in 1959, he signed on what would become some of the most
influential R&B artists of our time. It has taken some time to put this list together, but due
to popular demand, and a lack of "Most Requested" Motown songs on the internet or in regular
print, here is the list!
Please Note: To be fair, the list is in alphabetical order by artist and represents the most frequently requested songs for dancing and is only a small sampling of available recordings. |
