The only ones that come to mind are Ain't Too Proud to Beg, Money, and My Girl. Have they covered any other Motown classics?
and, which tune from Motown would you like to see them do?
The Tracks Of My Tears is one of my favourites. I can kinda see Keith singing that.

Just My Imagination, Cant Get Next To You.

Walk and Don't Look Back

They've also covered Hitch Hike, Can I Get A Witness, I Don't know Why and Goin' To A Go-Go.

On tour they should do Chicago or St. Louis again.

i smell a cheap opportunity to put out a disc of previously-available recordings, entitled:

Stones Do the Motor City

like to see them do: Ball Of Confusion by the Temptations

one verse goes like this:

"
Fear in the air, tension everywhere.
Unemployment rising fast, the Beatles new record's a gas.
Dennis:
And the only safe place to live is on an Indian reservation.
Melvin:
And the band played on.

Surprised the Stones haven't done Papa Was A Rolling Stone.

They also covered Love Train, although would that be considered Motown?

Love Train ...... Nope Gamble & Huff Philadelphia soul



ROCKMAN

Yes. Well, no, not really considered - it IS.

I loved the original Motown stuff.
Up to the 70's the Stones made some nice covers.

But the way they do those new live renditions which anyway is more like Philly sound I could really do without!

Love train, etc is bland, fluffy Vegas style! I found it embarrassing!

they threw a few chords of 'Papa was a Rolling Stone' into 'Out of Control'

'Love Train'(by the O'Jays) isnt a Motown song. Gamble & Huff wrote it, who were 'house' writers for the Philadelphia International label.

Stones do Motown very well.
They also did "Loving you is sweeter than ever".

Does Mick gaying it up with Bowie on Dancing In The Street count?

Don't forget "Uptight" with Stevie Wonder in 1972....

Ah, I looked it up and it was in several Motown sites.

I've Been Loving You Too Long

I've Been Loving You Too Long isn't a Motown song. It was written by Otis Redding and Jerry Butler and was released on the Volt/Atco label...

yes, that's true

On the Voodoo Lounge Tour they irregularly played 'I Can't Get Next To You', admittedly using an Al Green style arrangement but I believe it was actually a Temptations song.........

'I Can't Get Next To You', admittedly using an Al Green style arrangement but I believe it was actually a Temptations song.........

yep Temptations song later covered by Al Green........



ROCKMAN

During the Voodoo Lounge sessions, I believe they did a cover version of "Trouble Man".

My Girl. Motown or Stax/Volt?

My Girl ..... Motown ... penned by Smokey as a kind of follow-up
compliment to his My Guy by Mary Well's from earlier in the year of 1964



ROCKMAN

What about "HITCH HIKE" ?







I am a Frenchie ,as Mick affectionately called them in the Old Grey Whistle Test in 1977 .
