Today is Michigan’s 178th Birthday! A Big Happy Birthday High Five to the Mitten! In celebration of the Mitten’s birthday (and the fact that I went to the Motown Museum this weekend) today’s Musical Monday is going to be a few of my favorite Motown songs by artists born right here in the Mitten. Enjoy!

Can’t Hurry Love -The Supremes

Shop Around – The Miracles

Dancing in the Streets – Martha and the Vandellas

Please Mr. Postman – The Marvelettes

You are the Sunshine of my Life – Stevie Wonder

I Can’t Help Myself (Sugar Pie, Honey Bunch) – The Four Tops

Do You Love Me?  – The Contours

If you find yourself with some free time in Detroit, I recommend taking an hour to tour the Motown Museum.  You won’t be sorry!
