been reading about the lovely treatment that the Four Tops got at the hands of Ewart Abner [[you guys are over anyway) which led to their departure to ABC/Dunhill, and how Gordy 'joked' about wanting to smash the Tops' gold record for "Ain't No Woman Like The One I Got",their second hit for Dunhill..
where did I read this? in the booklet of "Forever" the Four Tops Hip-O box set that was released in 2001
Motown obviously was not above the 'bad blood' thing
