with the tops, some of the songs could have been done with more jazz approaches. with frank wilson, the orchestration could have been expanded. the four tops artistic capabilities were only occasionally explored at motown - songs where they could really let go and work their harmonies. could have been a fascinating alternative to the actual released version
