The TOP of the line for a true classic troupe!.......2004-08-27
Though fellow Motown label mates The Supremes and The Temptations seem to occupy a higher status in the collective memories of "boomers", the quartet known as The Four Tops had its share of top-selling classic hits, also. With strong vocals by lead Levi Stubbs, the group soared in the mid-60s, releasing a barrage of songs that climbed both the R & B and pop charts.
If one wants to know others responsible for the legend that was Motown, one needs look no further than this marvelous compilation of the best from The Four Tops.
I don't know what everybody's complaining about:(.......2000-01-03
The Greatest Hits album is a GREAT way to start a Four Tops collecton.If you want an album of their formative years(1964-1967)this is the album for you!Although, confidentially speaking, I prefer mono vinyl to stereo CD.
Maybe All You Need.......1999-07-01
Though this collection spans only about three years, it was the peak of the Tops output. Though later songs from the early to mid 70's are missing, to these ears they weren't as stunning as those collected here. I think Levi Stubbs was best on the melodramatic material presented on this collection-when he gets subtle, it isn't as effective. My personal favorites are "Bernadette," "Reach Out I'll Be There" and "Ask The Lonely." (which should have been a bigger hit than it was) "Ask The Lonely" is a masterpiece that to my ears doesn't get the credit it deserves. This is the collection that got them into the Rock N Roll Hall of Fame.
An excellent sampling of the Four Tops in their prime........1999-06-10
While this album covers only the first three years of the Four Tops' initial eight-year run as Motown stars, it serves a valuable purpose: It provides an aural "snapshot" of the group at the peak of its hit-making powers. The legendary songwriting/production team of Holland-Dozier-Holland (also responsible for the vast bulk of the Supremes' most enduring hits) created 10 of the songs, including the powerful numbers that made the Four Tops' sound perhaps pop/soul music's closest link to grand opera. Propelled by Levi Stubbs' heart-wrenching lead vocals and the Greek chorus-like harmonies of Renaldo Benson, Abdul Fakir and the late Lawrence Payton (occasionally augmented by backup chorale), the group alternately verges on a nervous breakdown ("Shake Me, Wake Me (When It's Over)," "7 Rooms of Gloom"), uplifts the spirit ("Reach Out I'll Be There") and stirs the soul ("Bernadette," one of the all-time-great songs about a man's love for a woman, e.g., "In you I have/what other men long for/All men need someone/to worship and adore/That's why I treasure you/and place you high above/For the only joy in life/is to be loved"). The non-H-D-H songs are also fine, particularly "Just Ask The Lonely," a melancholy reflection on the elusiveness of everlasting love: "Just ask the lonely/and they'll tell you the pain/of losing a love/you will never regain." All is topped off by sing-along classics "Baby I Need Your Loving," "I Can't Help Myself (Sugar Pie, Honey Bunch)" and "It's The Same Old Song." While the Tops never achieved the teenybopper popularity of the Temptations and Smokey Robinson & the Miracles, they proved on this first collection of greatest hits that they held the Motown monopoly on mature, heartfelt passion.
Great, but------.......1999-03-01
Don't waste your money on this album! For a dollar more, purchase their collection of hits in "The Ultimate Collection" by the Four Tops. The latter has all the songs of this one, plus many more. I discovered this after purchasing this one.

Customer Reviews:
The Four Tops - Greatest Hits.......2006-07-12
I have to agree with the reviewers.. I am extremely disappointed with this CD. I love the Four Tops and was excited to get a CD with so many of the songs that I loved.. I noticed the imitation immediately after I started listening. I had to pick up the CD and take a second look because the quality was so poor. If I had of purchased this CD at a store, I would return it.
Buyers find out the hard way.......2004-03-30
There is absolutely no indication on the cover that these are not the original recordings. This is reprehensible to not inform the buyer in advance before the money is spent.
Avoid This [ONE].......2003-09-27
Agree 100% with those pointing out that these are not the original recordings but only pale, disappointing imitations. These cuts appear to be made very recently by a much older set of Tops with extremely low budget instrumental and technical support...
Not The Classic Recordings!.......2000-10-12
I can not believe that the reviewer who gave this CD 5 stars ever actually listened to this CD. I am a huge fan of the Four Tops, but these are not the original recordings of the classic songs you know and love. These re-recordings lack the joy and spark that made the original versions hits. If you are a fan of this classic group, accept no substitutes...go get the real thing (and thank me later)!
Buyer Beware!.......2000-10-12
These are not the original recordings you know and love. They sound as if they were re-recorded sometime much later in the career of this great group. Do not be fooled!

Customer Reviews:
Forgotten Love Song.......2001-11-03
The Four Tops has been one of my favorite groups since the beginning. One of greatest love songs ever written, in my opinion was sang by the Four Tops. The album was Catfish, and the song was Love Don't Come Easy. I have waited a life time to hear that song in a movie sound track. My best friend has the only album copy (from San Antonio to Virginia) that I could find. Please help me to find this great song and revive it by adding it the the Four Tops Greatest Love songs or Greatest Hits list.
