You've Really Got A Hold On Me- Smokey Robinson & The Miracles

Sounds Like: Sam Cooke, The Temptations, The Supremes, Gladys Knight: take your pick! It's soul!
When to Listen: When you want to feel really cool (in an unironic, non-hipster way please) because you legitimately like old music because it is straight up great and essentially non-existant these days.

DID YOU KNOW that The Beatles actually only covered this song? Well, now you do! Smokey Robinson wrote it and got a Top 10 hit out of it with his group The Miracles. Yeah...drop that fact at your next party. >

If you don't already have a healthy respect for soul/motown, it's time. There's a lot to this genre and it's all excellent.
