    Lonely lover - the four tops

    This to me epitomizes the "Motown Sound", the "Detroit Sound" of the 60s and early 70s:

    I love this song. Very underrated. Levi is begging "RUN INTO MY ARMS!!!"

    While I prefer Marvin Gaye's version of "Lonely Lover", the Four Tops' version is very good too. It's one of those songs from the Motown Vaults that should've been released as a single or an LP cut.

    I've raved about the Tops' stereo version before on SDF, but no one ever replied.
