The complete title of the song is "Reach Out (I'll Be There)," written
by Brian Holland, Lamont Dozier, and Edward Holland Jr., and released
in 1966. Here are some of the cover versions that have been done, with
the album name/year in parentheses. However, I highly doubt this list
is exhaustive. All of these are available on iTunes or Rhapsody (songs
on Rhapsody only with asterisks); several other versions not offered
by either service are listed at the bottom. I assumed you were
interested only in vocal covers and not instrumental versions.
