I know some these have been mentioned before, like the Isley Brothers' " This Old Heart of Mine" and The Impressions' "Can't Satisfy ." [[Hover over the song titles for the YouTube links)
I was recently listening to the awesome Philadelphia International Classics: Tom Moulton Remixes, and was struck by the similarities between Robert Upchurch's "The Devil Made Me Do It" from 1973 and Isaac Hayes' "Do Your Thing" from 1971 and the basslines in the O'Jays' "Money" and Archie Bell and the Drells' "Let's Groove" [[check out the bassline starting at 2:02).
What other soul soundalikes come to mind?
