Ok Roger.....The Boy from Crosstown from the Marvelettes.

Now, are you happy that you made me squirm!

The Sophisticated Soul track "Your Love Can Save Me" was a rework of the Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell track "This Poor Heart of Mine" with slightly different lyrics. Or maybe the Marvelettes track was first...not sure.

And there was also the Marvelettes version of Barrett Strong's "Oh I Apologize" on the Please Mr. Postman album.

The Marvelettes was first, I'm sure. You can tell by how the lyrics of the Marvelettes' version were a bit awkward, and the Marvin and Valerie version is much more polished and bright. Nick and Val reworked a number of their songs after they had been released, and then released the newer versions.
