 No offense intended, but I don't think that "He's A Rebel" qualifies
as Motown.  It's more of a Phil Spector thang.  :-)

As Pure Motown goes, it's hard to top Smokey.

Still tripping on Crosby, Stills and Nash after discovering

As I remember the story, Steven wrote the song and taught
it to David. They worked on harmonies for it, but David 
always thought that it needed a third voice.

meet for the first time this guy from England who they

On the second verse, David heard Graham Nash join

written in his head. And the rest is history.
