the four tops and the andantes

[thisoldheart]

tell the truth ... who thought the four tops sound was created solely by the tops? i was young and perhaps not overly sophisticated but i was amazed by the wonderful sound i believed was entirely the tops. it was many years later that i learn the high/low backgrounds were not one group but two! who else thought that? this all kind of fits into the marvin, tammi, and val revelation. motown, like most other record companies sure had a whole lotta tricks up their sleeves. am i disappointed? no, the true history is so much more fascinating.i wonder if there are more secrets yet to be unraveled? anybody have any wild ideas of what other tricks are out there?
