(6,280 posts)... so many, but I'll go with Al Green. Since Google screwed up and I can't link directly to the video, I can only provide a link to what I think is one of the best Motown songs I've ever heard. "Tired Of Being Alone"

(20,203 posts)He's still out there playing small venues. I had the good fortune to see him a few years ago in a small club. I bought my tickets as soon as they went on sale. When we got to the club, our table was right by his piano! He's moving slow and wearing a back brace but his hands still glide across the keyboard. It was magic.
