4. The Miracles - You've Really Got A Hold On Me; 2:57

This R&B/soul group from Detroit became known as one of Motown's signature acts in the 1960's. Members Smokey Robinson, Claudette Rodgers, Bobby Rodgers, Pete Moore, and Ronnie White reached the top of the R&B charts with this hit in 1962. You've Really Got A Hold On Me was written by Robinson for his wife Claudette Rodgers. The Beatles covered this song in 1963, as they stated they were very influenced by black music and helped the group get their music noticed. This is, without a doubt, the most famous song of the early Motown era. The Funk Brothers provide an excellent accompaniment.
