As a white suburban kid growing up in the 80's, my introduction to the music of Motown was through movie soundtracks. Movies like the Big Chill were gateways to a whole other powerful genre of music for which I was unfamiliar. Adventures in Babysitting was an unlikely movie to have a similar effect. However, towards the end of the movie, the babysitter(played by Elizabeth Shue) is racing back to the house with the kids before the parents get home. There is this really cool Motown-sounding song played as they race home. For years, I thought the song was Feets Don't Fail Me Now(not to be confused with Little Feat's song).
Years later, I discovered that the tune was Edwin Starr's Twenty-Five Miles.
