DETROIT MOTOWN MONDAY RECORD FLASHBACK ’67!

THE FOUR TOPS * 1967

A MCRFB Note: The title of the song in the above 1972 Motown “YESTERYEAR” single re-issue is an obvious misprint. “You Keep Running Away,” written by Holland-Dozier-Holland, would be one the the last few singles the Four Tops recorded written by the Motown song-writing trio prior their departure from the label, latter 1967.
