Track-by-track annotations by Bill Dahl and Keith Hughes. Edited and augmented by Harry Weinger and Thane Tierney.

Bill Dahl of Chicago has written hundreds of album reviews, feature stories and various articles about music and musicians. He has been nominated for a Grammy(R) award for his notes to Ray Charles' Genius & Soul: The 50th Anniversary Collection. With Weldon A. McDougal III, Dahl is the author of Motown: The Golden Years.

Keith Hughes of Wantage, England, is the author of Don't Forget The Motor City, a Motown discography, and he has written articles for a variety of soul magazines. His research has appeared in a number of CD compilations.

Billboard chart information courtesy of BPI Communications Inc. and Joel Whitburn's Record Research Inc. Note: Billboard did not publish R&B Charts between November 30th 1963 and January 23rd 1965. Any R&B Chart without the asterisk are from after the chart's reinstatement.

R&B chart numbers with an asterisk (*) reflect chart positions from Cash Box magazine, a Billboard competitor at the time. Where different numbers from both trade publications are shown, the lower position from Billboard reflects the song's chart entry after it had peaked commercially.
