Motown used to do it as standard practice. The Temptations couldn't make a
hit out of it? Why, give it to the Supremes! Smokey got the song on the R &
B chart? Hell, let's give it to the Jackson 5...they'll run it up the Pop
charts too.
I seem to recall Robbie Robertson putting "Broken Arrow" on his debut album
and Rod Stewart covering it immediately after. Rod got credited with the
hit.
