What Smokey Robinsoncalls “a bang bang record,” “I Can’t Help Myself” had “HIT!” written all over it when it was released in 1965. It’s poppy, for sure, but it’s soulful – and that crucial Four Tops element is here: vulnerability. Levi Stubbs may have a big, gutsy voice, but he admits he’s weaker than a man should be. Magical.
Levi and the Tops are in a living nightmare and cannot deal with it. High drama from 1966 created by Holland-Dozier-Holland, the writer-producers who made Four Tops stars.
Lots of artists covered Tim Hardin’s dignified classic, which asks: would you love me if I didn’t have the status you expect of a man? Levi, Obie, Duke and Lawrence are perfectly poised to chisel out the definitive soul version of this far-from-wooden standard.
When Four Tops quit Motown in 1972 to join ABC-Dunhill, their future seemed in doubt: could they thrive without the Motown hit machine? Sure they could, and this beautifully bruising, emotive song perfectly reflected the era of superbad black movie heroes.
Our love was part of the universe’s inbuilt cycle, insist the Tops on the title track from their final album of their original tenure at Motown, penned by Frank Wilson and Pam Sawyer. It’s warm, soulful, and sensitive.
In 1971, Four Tops were approached by Mike Pinder, keyboard player of the Deram-signed prog-rock iconoclasts The Moody Blues, who suggested they might like to record his song “A Simple Game.” Perhaps surprisingly, as the label often liked to keep its songwriting in-house, Motown approved the resultant recording, and this magical single, with the To...
Who else could conjure up bereft emptiness like Levi Stubbs? She has gone, leaving him rattling around like a ghost in a house with no love. A shockingly lonely sound, yet a big hit in 1967.
Four Top Renaldo “Obie” Benson was one of the prime movers behind Marvin Gaye’s major statement What’s Going On, but while it’s recognized that Obie’s writing helped shape the direction of Marv’s classic, it’s less well recognized that the Tops pioneered his album’s magically misty atmosphere with this remarkable single in 1970.
From their classic 1966 album On Top, this single was not a major hit for the foursome, but it was a highly emotional performance that remains a soulful wonder.
A No.4 US hit in early 1973, from their opening album for ABC, Keeper Of The Castle, presenting the delicate, awestruck side of Four Tops’ range of loving emotions.
