I find it a genre that's more often bought as a compilation. Aside from songs in the key of life and what's going on I'm not aware of any other great soulful albums or Motown albums that are great but aren't compilations.
Yeah it seems everybody beat me to the punch on most of them in addition to some interesting recs . Marvin Gaye and Stevie Wonder have far more than just one good album (and neither of those that you named is my favorite by a longshot), as do Otis Redding, Aretha Franklin, Al Green, Sly & the Family Stone. Nina Simone is like a jazz-blues-soul hybrid and she's amazing. You must be getting your music education from the wrong sources if you think there are only two legit classic albums in this rich and diverse genre.
Okay I know that this album may not fit the description, but to me, the beautiful precious doing the singing was way over looked and couldn't have been any more soul filled and now since the 6th of last month his time down here with us is now a thing of the past which crushes me like crazy, I love him so much!!!
God bless you and his family always!!!

P.S. I just wish that it had not taken his going forward in order for me to realize who I had been missing out on all of this time. Of course my being a little kid during his days on the front burner in country music wasn't a help, but still. I couldn't be anymore ashamed of how late I am in finally knowing just how awesome the beautiful precious will always be. _________________ Me & my favorite singer James Otto
