Justin Vernon (Bon Iver): “It embodies so much of what Motown’s about; musically with the tambourine and all the reverb in the background, with lyrics that are so unbelievably poignant. I’ve been listening to this since I was eight years old, I was sat in the grocery store with my mom when I first heard it. I’ll always remember that and I guess that’s why it’s special to me.”
