Answer 3

In 1962, Petula Clark recorded a song called "Ya Ya Twist".
It is virtually note perfect to the Amy Winehouse "Rehab".

Answer 4

It does not sound like any song of the 60's but it definately sounds like the Motown sound of that time. Itd clear her influences on this song is Motown, but its a very modernised version of what MOtown would probably sound like now. Great stuff, and a very great singer.
