Motown Cover Versions.

[Bigbad]

I do like (early) Motown, and there have been some brilliant Motown cover versions.

Post your favourites.

My favourite female singer. And live too.

[Bigbad]

Another live Linda Ronstadt with the hugely talented Andrew Gold on guitar and backing vocals.

[Togo]

Originally by the Contours in 1962. When the cover came out "we" Motown aficionados were dismayed.

[Togo]

The Beatles covered many Motown originals this was done by The Marvelettes.

[Togo]

For Mexican. Good cover too.

[NickorWan]

Great cover of a great song.

[Bigbad]

I’m sure Arnold McCuller was on backing vocals on one of the occasions I’ve seen James Taylor live.

[Bigbad]

And speaking of James Taylor.....

[Bigbad]

I enjoyed that, NickorWan. I have to confess that I’d never heard of Joan Osborne.
