Separated at Birth? MOTHER DEAR & IT'S ALL YOUR FAULT

[Methuselah2]

Hadn't occurred to me before but these two tunes sound awfully similar--with the exception of different tempos and orchestrations. A number of entries in the Motown catalogue sound somewhat similar to other recordings or, if not similar, noticeably 'related'. Follow-up syndrome often comes into play. And maybe that's why various recordings went into the vaults, only to see the light of day many years later due to public interest--i.e., our interest.

See what you think in this instance. Any other Motown pairings of your own that seem heavily linked to one another?
