There have been some decent covers of Motown songs by British bands over the years. The Beatles are obvious but other bands did well with some of the Motown material.

Here are The Escorts with The Miracles "From Head To Toe"

If anyone provides a link to Peter Jay and the Jaywalkers' version of "Where Did Our Love Go", I shall complain to Ralph for bringing the forum into disrepute.:mad:

Ha! Some Philistine on The Who's "Heat Wave" YouTube page had the audacity to say that their version is the definitive one and that the original is bubblegum! Sloooowly I turn...
