Stop me if you've heard this one before, but I don't think I have so thought I'd ask. What's your favorite Motown cover by a non-Motown artist, and why?

Mine has to be "Stop! in the Name of Love" by Margie Joseph [[the long version, natch). She gives that great song a completely different, sinister twist. To me, it evokes more the spirit of "Smiling Faces Sometimes" [[which may have come out around the same time) than it does the original "Stop!" A great song by a talented artist who never achieved the fame I think she was expected to. Her version got a huge amount of airplay on Detroit radio way back then, but I don't think it hit nationally.
