Taking It Back 2

A continuation of the Taking It Back pick. This was designed to have at hand my favorite picks for a gig to do a set of "Motownish" R&B. Some slow, some fast but all recognizable songs that would get people on the dancefloor. It didn't matter if it was from Detroit or not, but just had to have that feeling of get up and dance. Frankly a lot of that came from Motown. I added one Big Daddy track which fits in with the theme. I was surprised how many people would come up to me and say, "I didn't know that U2 covered that song." Which, of course, they didn't, since they wrote it. Same cover and track numbering continues from the last one. Next volume tomorrow.
