Besides this Forum, I am also a member of The Motown Forum and a few related sites over there.

Someone started a thread there asking people to name the MOTOWN song that best describes what it is like to be "sheltering in place," or, as they put it, on "lockdown."

Thought maybe we could open it up here to all songs, not just Motown.

Here are a few of the ones that were posted over there --

"Someday We'll Be Together" -- Diana Ross & The Supremes

"My World Is Empty Without You" -- The Supremes

"I Can't Get Next to You" -- The Temptations

"Nowhere To Run, Nowhere to Hide" -- Martha Reeves & The Vandellas

	"I think honesty is of the first, utmost importance in art... any art. After that comes technique and... after that comes talent. Honesty is first. All the rest of the things are important, too, but they're secondary. Without honesty, I don't care how much technique you have, you have nothing."--Linda Ronstadt
