Four Tops - "Never Say No To Your Baby"

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.

Thanks for clearing up the misinformation about Four Tops' "Never Say Naw" from their Lost And Found set. I always thought that the title was a mistake since "Never Say No To Your Baby" [by Staunton & Walker and released by The Hit Pack in 1965] is clearly a different song.

Corrected in my database, mysterysinger, and THANKS. Don't know when the next edition will be published ...

You're most welcome Keith.

Just listen to that wonderful vocal by Levi though - stunning!
