They were so much meatier than their contemporaries. Levi Stubbs was probably Motown's best answer to Southern Soul. And how could you not love songs like "Bernadette"?

I prefer 'The Temptations' in terms of meat. Lyrically, 'The Platters' had some very heavy stuff.

They aren't mine either, my favorite is probably Martha Reeves and the Vandellas.

It's quite possible...the Four Tops have a shitload of covers on their albums (including their ghastly salute to Broadway album).
