This track is shown on their Lost & Found set and shown as "Never Say No To Your Baby" written by Robert Staunton and Robert Walker.
DFTMC shows the following:
Never Say No
Four Tops; recorded L.A. / Hitsville-GW, completed 16-Jan-69 ; produced by Frank Wilson, Lawrence Payton, Wade Marcus
25-May-05; CD [[S): Hip-O Select B0003626-02 Lost Without You: Motown Lost And Found [mis-titled "Never Say No To Your Baby"]
But the correct title of the song is "Never Say Naw" written by Percy Mayfield and released in 1963 on Tangerine Records – 45-TRC-927. Maybe DFTMC could be amended. More importantly someone should tell Universal as the royalties must be going astray.
Ray Charles also recorded a version which was on his "Portrait Of Ray" album in 1968.
Personally I do like the song - all good versions.
Here's Percy Mayfield.
And here's the Four Tops [[Levi solo?). Levi is great on this.
