This article reports that musician Phil Collins has named a 1963 Motown recording as, in his view, the greatest Motown single ever released. The piece frames the choice as a notable endorsement from a widely known artist, offering fans an insight into the music that shaped his own tastes and influences.

Beyond the headline claim and the pull-quote "The sun just comes out", the supplied article text contains only website navigation and mailing-list prompts rather than substantive detail, so the specific song title, Collins's full reasoning and any supporting context are not included in the material provided.
