The #2 song has early Motown
written all over it.
Berry Gordy cowrote it.
Writers are Gordy/Davis/Gordy.
Who is the 2nd Gordy.
His wife??

Marv Johnson's earlier hit "Come To Me" was first on Gordy's Tamla label before Gordy leased it to U.A., which took over his career with Gordy still writing songs for him...killer songs too.

Speaking of colors...

How about songs about places:
Summer Place
Harlem
St. Bernardette
El Paso
Juarez Town
New Orleans
Uptown
Chattanooga - twice!

and water...
Beyond the Sea
On the Beach
Neptune
Sleepy Lagoon

and animals...
Running Bear
Bull Dog
Beatnik Fly
