Various Artists - Motown Meets The Beatles (2001)

EU Import

Motown artists covering The Beatles sounds like a fantastic idea, but this thing is hit or miss. However, Stevie Wonder's version of We Can Work It Out is one of the best Beatles covers of all time and is worth the price of admission. Liner notes by Paul Nixon.
