Lol I just seen its already been mentioned a couple times. Great minds
"No wonder loves a wonder" standout track from One Dozen Rose's.
Also "What have we got to lose" with Aretha on the 'Back where I belong' album
I remember spending £100 on the encyclopedia of R&B only to be told that Ronnie White was a member of The Temptations....
so when it came to reading about the groups I never actually knew...
Whoooops... who didn't do their research properly!!!
In the scene where Melvin is shot and robbed [[in 1978) his car radio is playing "baby got back" which was released in 1992.
Yes!! ........
The lack of J5 tracks on Unreleased 1969 makes me wish they'll be some on there or at least a standalone release. I've heard they recorded hundreds of songs during their stint at Motown.
Johnny Fever & Venus Fly Trap
My favourite version of this song is by Barry White proteges "White Heat" featuring lead vocals from Bobby DeBarge.

"No Wonder Love's A Wonder" from One Dozen Roses.... I agree that there were quite a few gems on those 70s Smokey & The Miracles albums. In fact for me those are my favourite albums of theirs.
I was gonna say Muscles by Diana Ross and Jermaine "tell me I'm not dreamin" but neither were Motown although of course both were Motown artists
Did Luther actually record a cover of this song? I'm sure Luther's was called "This Is Christmas"
Alexander O'Neal's version on "my gift to you"
Sorry forgot to include "lady soul" as well.
To be continued ... the title track, "more love your love" & "message to the world" are worth the entry price alone.
Was it "The two killings of Sam Cooke" I've seen it... and yes, was well made.
Lol I remember out of protest, when Nirvana were told to mine on TOTP and they refused to do so, Kurt Cobain sang the whole of "smells like teen spirit" a whole octave lower....
And I cant...
This is great.. I need to check these out. Thanks 😃
Whereas when I saw Gladys Knight 6 years ago, she didn't have no pyrotechnics, fancy light show or scantily clad backing dancers... her voice and her presence did all the work.
Barbara McNairs version recorded in 1965... a list of covers in chronological order

I was gonna say "for once in my life" but wasn't sure if it was motowns most covered in-house.... I am quite certain though that it is the most covered Motown song period... over 200 versions am I...
Ahh I got happy then... really wanna watch the Sam Cooke doc.... and then found these are only on the U.S. site.
..and the biggest hint has just been dropped
