Songs he wrote, but not for Motown. This is how he got the money to start Motown, from the royalties made here on these classics.
Jackie Wilson: Lonely Teardrops (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jgyl_LBdcxo)
Etta James: All I Could Do Was Cry (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UdD-zac4mx8)


Pretty sure everyone has one of these classic blue vinyls around somewhere.
