and I noticed that Smokey Robinson and the Miracles version of "My Girl" was released long after the classic Temptations version and it made me wonder: what do most people consider a song's "original" version...1. The version that was released first (even if it's obscure or totally unheard of) 2. The version performed by the song's composer(s) or 3. The version that's most popular, successful or best known? 7/15/2011
