My Boy Lollipop, was decidedly not a Motown release. Written as My Girl
Lollypop by Robert Spencer of the Cadillacs, who recorded for NY based
Morris Levy. The original female version by Barbie Gaye was a regional hit
in NYC and the northeast. The Rod Stewart angle is just another Rod Stewart
urban legend. From Wikipedia:

"Eight years later the song was discovered by Island Records founder, Chris
Blackwell <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chris_Blackwell>, who, with his
associate Chris Peers, was trying to find songs for his young artist Millie
Small <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Millie_%28singer%29>
to record. Changing the spelling to read "lollipop" instead of "lollypop",
Millie's version was recorded in a similar shuffle
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shuffle>/ska
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ska>/bluebeat
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blue_Beat_Records>-style, and in 1964 it
became her breakthrough blockbuster hit in the United Kingdom, reaching No.
2. The song also went to No. 1 in Republic of Ireland and No. 2 in the
United States (on the Smash Record label). Considered the first commercially
successful international ska song, Small's version of "My Boy Lollipop" sold
over six million records worldwide and helped to launch Island Records
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Island_Records> into mainstream popular music.
It remains one of the best-selling reggae/ska hits of all time.^[8]
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/My_Boy_Lollipop#cite_note-amg-8>

The record's arrangement is credited to Ernest Ranglin
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ernest_Ranglin>, who also plays guitar on the
recording. The saxophone solo from the original version was replaced by a
harmonica solo. It is unclear who played the harmonica -- urban legend
credited Rod Stewart <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rod_Stewart>
for many years, but he has denied it. Instead, it was almost certainly
either Pete Hogman or Jimmy Powell
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jimmy_Powell_%28singer%29>, both of The Five
Dimensions. Pete Hogman and Five Dimensions guitarist Kenny White both
maintain it was Pete Hogman, while Jimmy Powell asserts that it was he who
played this solo.^[9]"
