| Poll question: Favorite FOUR TOPS record? |
|
In my delivery vehicle today, I listened to Motown's 4-CD boxed set on the Four Tops. So I figured, what the hell, let's do a poll at DU tonight.
As usual, if you don't see your personal favorite listed, you're more than welcome to write it in!

| 3. "7 Rooms" sends chills up my spine. |
|
They also did a fantastic cover of "Walk Away, Renee."

| 7. "Ain't No Woman Like the One I've Got" |
|
Partly because it reminds me of a certain time and place, and a certain guy who I can still picture singing it....1973 was a great year for soul music.

| 11. Tough call, Night Train! |
|
Had to go with "Sugar Pie Honey Bunch" because it was the ONLY song that could stand against "Satisfaction" in the summer of '65!
Cheers, :hippie: dbt

| 13. Eddie Holland, Brian Holland, and Lamont Dozier |
|
were bloody geniuses. Throw in Levi Stubbs' growl, and you've got something of oft unsurpassed beauty.
I went with "Bernadette," the song Dave Marsh once described as "a Black man singing Bob Dylan." The lyrics, the arrangement, the singing -- all the way through the false ending, this is just about the most perfect record ever made by ANYBODY.

| 14. Wow, Train! That Was A Hard Poll |
|
You picked so many really good hits that it was hard to decide. I picked Reach Out, but i could have picked at least 4 others, maybe more.
Good question! The Professor
