Nostalgic!.......2007-01-09
My husband and I love the Four Tops and this CD is a blast from the past! We were married in the late 60's and this is our kind of music!
The Millennium Collection: The Best of The Four Tops.......2006-07-13
What a great CD. It brought back so many great memories as a teenager.
What A Sham.......2005-01-06
This collection had me foolishly thinking that this was all the Four Tops had to offer. Boy was I wrong, I heard It's The Same Old Song, I Believe In You And Me and other of the Tops hits and i felt cheated. I now have the Anthology which includes 48 songs. The two aforementioned songs as well as 'You Keep Running Away', 'River Deep, Mountain High', 'It's All In The Game' and all of their ABC/Dunhill hits like 'One Chain' and 'Are You Man Enough' are on the Anthology. Don't bother with this collection and get the Anthology.
Very Essential.......2000-06-13
If You Haven't Heard these Classics Before then this is a Must.The Four Tops Have Recorded so Many Great Songs.The Words&Music are TImeless.Great Production&Musicianship.Most Importantly are The Vocals.which Todays Vocal Groups don't have.Quality of The Highest Level.

NOVELTY!.......2005-05-10
The Supremes and Four Tops, separately, were two of the greatest vocal groups to achieve major fame in the 60's. The Supremes alone were the third biggest singles act of the decade, with 12 pop #1's and at least 18 top tens, total! That the Four Tops, the ORIGINAL/FOUNDING members, stayed together for 40+ years is a singular achievement. Only the death of a member could break them up! The fact that their potent lead singer, Levi Stubbs, never asked for star billing, and never seized opportunities that came his way for a major solo career, is indicative of a powerful brotherhood, and an ego in good control. By the time these two groups got to record together, The Supremes were on their fifth member [original and founding member Florence Ballard having been "ousted" in 1967, to be replaced by Cindy Birdsong, and then Jean Terrell having replaced Diana Ross in 1970]. Bringing these two groups together was an effort to pump up both of their careers.
The pairing was short of a match made in heaven. Oh, the groups got along great during recording. And, Motown, for some reason, didn't capitalize on the sizeable hit "River Deep Mountain High" [#14 pop in December 1970] by having the 2 groups tour together. By this time, the Tops were poised to leave the label. [In fact, The Supremes DID tour with The Temptations in 1973!] The teaming of The Supremes and Four Tops, DID yield some very good results, notably the aforementioned hit, which bested Ike and Tina Turner's original on the charts. It's just that, with 2 very distinctive lead vocalists, the Tops' Stubbs and the Supremes' Terrell, it sometimes seemed as if they were dueling rather than duetting. Here is another case where utilization of the other talented singers in both groups in more prominent roles might have yielded some excitement and even smoother deliveries.
In spite of this, there are several highlights in this collection. My favorite would have to be their brilliant version of the lovely "Call Me," for which Chris Montes had a big hit in the 60's. Mr. Stubbs' lead vocal is surprising understated here, foreshadowing his more subdued vocal on the Tops' big 80's hit "When She Was My Girl." Ms. Terrell, meanwhile, gives one of her famous "creamy" deliveries. Other standouts: the anthemic "You Gotta Have Love in Your Heart," "I'll Try Not to Cry," and "If You Could See Me Now," another understated delivery by Stubbs and creamy rendition by Terrell. Some of Motown's best songwriters and producers, including Ashford & Simpson, were charged with creating the material. Among the three albums these 2 groups recorded, there are one or two gems that were omitted here, especially, "What Do You Have to Do [to Stay on The Right Side of Love]" from their second collaboration THE RETURN OF THE MAGNIFICENT SEVEN. Semi-essential for the fans and completists.

Good retrospective of immediate post-Motown years.......2003-04-04
From 1971 through most of 1972, the Tops received little promotional support from Motown and struggled on the charts. Frustrated, they left the label in late 1972 and signed with ABC subsidiary Dunhill Records.
Most of the Tops' best recordings from their Dunhill/ABC tenure are found here. They include early hits like the urban message song "Keeper Of The Castle," the Shaft in Africa theme "Are You Man Enough," and the multi-format smash "Ain't No Woman (Like The One I've Got)" - all produced by the stellar Lambert & Potter writing/production team. Also included is the Tops' funkiest recording ever "One Chain Don't Make No Prison," the stupid "Catfish," and the ultra smooth "I Just Can't Get You Out Of My Mind." The only significant single missing here is their 1978 disco hit "H.E.L.P." (the only decent track from their unrepresented 1977 and 1978 albums).
Some significant album cuts are also included, most notably the harmonic anthem "Love Music" and the sweet "Put A Little Love Away (Save It For A Rainy Day)," the bank commercial which was also popularized around the same time by the Emotions. I would have included the title cut from "Main Street People" too. You can get that one on the Tops box set FOUREVER.
Keepers Of Classic Soul.......2000-09-12
This Four Tops Greatest Hits Collection chronicles the group's Dunhill/ABC years. The standout tracks here are "Ain't No Woman", "One Chain Don't Make No Prison" and "Keeper Of The Castle". Let's not forget "Catfish", which contains the sexually explicit lyric "makes my nature rise". "We All Gotta Stick Together" somewhat explains the foursome's staying power, which has lasted for more than three decades. The songs in this greatest hits collection rivals the hits the group had in the Motown era. Levi Stubbs' rough, powerful vocals are enough reason to add this Four Tops collection to your CD library.
Very Essential.......2000-05-14
Great Talent can last thru anything&time period.The Four Tops Prove that point with this Must Have Set.Catfish&Ain't No Woman are the Stand Out Tracks.Their Voices are as Strong as ever.Very Essential Harmony.
