You've Really Got A Hold On Me

The Beatles made it famous in 63, but once again, it's Smokey Robinson who wrote this song in 1962 (the Beatles actually changed the title to "You Really" and not "You've Really," but I don't know if that was intentional or just British).

All of these versions are great. I'm particularly fond of Jackie DeShannon's (or Sharon Myers if you meet her in synagogue) singing and early rock sound, but we'll definitely have more on her in a later posting.
