My brain is mush trying to remember this mash (up)

I'm looking for a mashup that was posted to MeFi from maybe 10-15ish years ago. Maybe earlier. I absolutely loved it back then, but I never bookmarked it or favorited the post. The details from my memory are kind of slim.
I don't have a ton to go on, just little details.
It was 2 artists:
- an African-American female singer (also possibly a girl group). I think she was singing on a stage, into a microphone. The song was from the 50s or 60s (the video for their part was in black and white)
- An American or British rock band of caucasian men from the 60s or 70s (video may have been black and white, but I can't remember). I think the rock band may begin with "The". The proper noun may be related to a tool? This is what my stupid brain is telling me.
Other details:
- The mashup opens with one of the members of the rock brand saying. "OK", then the drummer kicks in with a pounding snare.
- The female singer does this excited dance like she's jumping and running in place/stamping her feet.
- The female singer's song may have been about a needing a man to respect her, or about loving a man, or not taking shit from a man. A man was involved in some way.
- The BPM may have have been in the 120 -130 range
So yeah, that's all I've got. Hope me? My brain has been playing small chunks of this to me for a long time, and I'd really like to hear it in its entirety again.

Response by poster: This is a good one, SaltySalticid! But definitely not it.
But the Supremes may be on the right track. And now I'm thinking the rock band MAY have been ELO.

Response by poster: None of these are it. I’m going to start making a list of potential rock bands and start listening for songs that start with someone saying, „Ok“. I really hope the effort is worth it, and the mashup is a great as I remember.
