Something About You - Four Tops

Something About You - Four Tops
2:41
Four Tops Second Album, 1965
Written by Brian Holland, Lamont Dozier, Eddie Holland

Over a guitar riff that evokes the Stones' "Satisfaction" and buzzy horns, the Tops belt out this love song with authority and panache.  An uptempo rocker, it's got a classic Motown sound, including a muscular rhythm section featuring bells, tambourine, and drums from the Funk Brothers.  This has got to be one of the best Motown songs that wasn't a smash hit, and there's really no reason why it shouldn't be listed up there with all the usual greats.
