I left you all with some homework. The question was very subjective and the answers showed it. Having said that, I did not see any that were anywhere near as disgusting as the one I have put up. It blows away the competition, making all the other contenders smell badly. Feast your eyes on Mr. Methane.

The question for today is:
Q: What was Motown’s first hit?
My last question from what seems like weeks ago (and was):
Q: Who wrote and recorded the first version of “Respect“?
We all know the very famous version by Aretha Franklin (shown here is a live version from 1968 in Stockholm, Sweden)
–
The answer though is, Otis Redding. He wrote and recorded this in 1965. You can find it on his album “Otis Blue“. The song was not released as a single. When Otis heard Aretha’s version, his comment was “That little girl stole my song”.
Here is Otis singing his song.

Now for a new trivia question to ponder until I pop in again with a new one.
Q: Everyone knows the George Harrison song “Got My Mind Set On You”. Who originally recorded it. For bonus points, who wrote it.
