The Four Tops, starting around 1968, released several covers of pretty popular songs of time time as singles including, "Walk Away Renee," "If I Were a Carpenter," "I'm a Believer", "Do What You Gotta Do", "River Deep/Mountain High [[with the Supremes), and more.

I was contemplating if there were other Motown acts whose number of A-side singles of covers of popular non-Motown songs equalled or surpassed the output of the Four Tops. Again, I am not necessarily referring to releasing just any non-Motown song; however, songs that were already identified with non-Motown artist or group.
