    I've always loved "I'm In A Different World" from the first time I heard it on the "Yesterday's Dreams" LP. At the time, I had no idea that it would be HDH's last outing with the Four Tops AND with Motown. Strangely, I don't recall the single getting any airplay on our local AM radio station which had always promoted Motown fairly heavily throughout Motown's classic era. It's still beyond me how Motown let a surefire hit like "Your Love Is Wonderful" slip through their fingers yet felt compelled to include an annoying track like "The Sweetheart Tree" on the "Yesterday's Dreams" album.

    I did hear "I'm In A Different World" on my AM radio station [in NYC] a few times but it didn't really receive a lot of airplay like The Tops earlier hits did. And the excellent "Your Love Is Wonderful" got lost as the B-side of "Walk Away Renee" [also the song didn't even get released on an album until the Fourever box set & the Lost Without You-Lost & Found collection].

    I know, Eddie. Such a waste!

    OK. This is something that has COMPLETELY baffled me; why didn't ANYONE hear the commercial potential in "Your Love Is Wonderful"? I would have chosen that over "Yesterday's Dreams".

    "Your Love is Wonderful" is indeed a spectacular, single worthy song. If I am correct, it was never even placed on what we call 'a regular album' as a filler song. T
