V.A. - Motown Sings The Beatles (1991)

UK compilation containing legendary Motown artists' interpretations of the Beatles' classics. When the Fab Four first got together, their sets consisted of American Rock and Soul covers. Once they began writing their own music, they still continued to cover these songs that influenced them, including some early Motown favorites. Ironically enough, Motown's brightest stars began covering the Beatles once they became household names. This collection features 17 fine examples of these Soul drenched reinterpretations of Beatles tracks including cuts performed by Diana Ross & the Supremes, the Four Tops, Stevie Wonder, Smokey Robinson & the Miracles, the Temptations, Marvin Gaye, Jr.. Walker & the All-Stars, Syreeta and others. Spectrum.
