Money, Shout, Twist and Shout I'm sure there are others, but I'm drawing a blank - can somebody fill in the gaps please?

I don't think Shout or Twist and Shout were Motown releases - the Isley Brothers did eventually join Motown but that wasn't till the mid-sixties. There were three Motown covers on The Beatles' second album: Please Mister Postman You Really Got A Hold On Me Money

Ringo certainly had that Motown drum style down pat on The Beatles' Second Album. Probably Berry Gordy Jr's favorite Beatle album. The publishing royalties on those three songs, plus songwriting royalties on "Money."
For those of you outside the US, The Beatles Second Album was a Dave Dexter collection of leftover album cuts from British 14-song albums, single sides, and EP cuts filling up American Capitol albums with 11 or 12 cuts.

When the Beatles played Detroit, they were asked by the press what they liked about the city. John replied "Tamla Motown" thus making Berry Gordy a very rich man. Paul has acknowledged the influence of hearing the Jamerson bass on Motown tracks. It wasn't so much the bass lines or techniques, so much as the prominence given to that pounding bass on records by the Supremes, Temptation, Four Tops etc. By contrast, most other studios tended to bury the bass in the mix. Once the bass was more audibly prominent, it made sense for Paul to become more inventive, producing some outstanding bass lines. Here's a clip of James Jamerson at his best....
