Soul on Sunday - I Can't Help Myself (Sugar Pie, Honey Bunch) / The Four Tops

Just one contender for Soul on Sunday this week following the sad death of Levi Stubbs. The Four Tops tend to be overlooked when people are considering the Motown story these days, however their contribution should not be underestimated. Their work with the Holland-Dozier-Holland hit producing team in particular gave us a string of hit singles the equal of anything else on the label: Reach Out I'll be there, Standing In the Shadows of Love, Bernadette, the list goes on. I Can't Help Myself (Sugar Pie, Honey Bunch) is one of the more dancefloor friendly singles they released, in 1965 and was a bona fide hit, reaching number 1 in the pop and R&B charts.

You know that I Love you:


Something I only learned when reading this week's obits was that Levi Stubbs did the voice of the plant in little shop of horrors...
