Jasmine ,'Power Play'
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

I should've known "End of the Road" because that was massive.
And "Motownphilly" was a #1 hit on the R&B charts, hmph.
Because someone reminded me of it, and I love it and would marry this version of this song. [link]

Man, not so much. I got two. And don't even know that 4 Seasons one.

Oddly, I can get part of two on this question as well -- Wanya and Shawn.

Have you seen this wonderful dark, dramatic version? It's surprisingly listenable.
