Rod Stewart, Michael McDonald and now Phil Collins — for veteran rockers, the Motown cover album has become an all-too-familiar move. Collins' love of the music is genuine — remember his sweetly slavish cover of "You Can't Hurry Love"? — and his curatorial skills are top-drawer, mixing big hits ("Going to a Go-Go") with lesser-known chestnuts (Martha and the Vandellas' "In My Lonely Room"). But he's not a soul singer; he can't summon the fervor that pushed Motown hits from bubblegum toward gospel exaltation. He's better on the melancholy title track, which wasn't a Motown song at all — it was a minor hit for the Byrds in 1967.

“My President”

Young Jeezy teams up with Nas on this track, in which he compare his own success with the idea of an African-American winning the Democratic Party's nomination in the 2008 presidential election. "When I pulled up in my car, that s--- was unbelievable to people in my neighborhood because they were like, 'We grew up with him. How the hell did he accomplish this?'" he told Rolling Stone. "I feel like it was the same way with Obama. I grew up all this time, but I've never seen a black man this close to running this country."
