Never heard this before , very nice, good to wake up to something new. Who wrote this, sounds like a Broadway song?

LEE ADAMS & CHARLES STROUSE. The two who did the theme to ALL IN THE FAMILY.

I love this track by the Four Tops.
It was a song from a musical, and there a number of versions ....check out Youtube...some nice verions too.

I'm surprised to see that it was produced by HDH and dates from 1966. I'd always assumed it was after they had left Motown.

Brilliant track....well posted MS
