the Four Tops



I'm sure everyone's heard the Four Tops even if they don't realize it. The Four Tops are, of course, classic Motown. They are one of the lable's best recognized acts and helped to define its sound during its early days. I found this collection on vinyl in Rochester when miischa was on tour this summer. To be honest, when I first picked it up I only recognized a couple songs, but it was in the 4 for $1 discount bin so fuck it right? Well, once I started listening to it I realized I knew almost every song on it. My point is- you probably know and love these songs already and you don't know it. If you like oldies like I do then you'll love this album. Features notable tracks such as: I Can't Help Myself (Sugar Pie, Honey Bunch) and Baby I Need Your Loving.
