Beginning with On Top, Motown started constructing their Four Tops LPs from singles and a few similar-sounding album tracks, along with plenty of crossover material (usually attempts at MOR covers or light supper-club standards). The first four songs display the Four Tops at the peak of their power; opening with the swinging &I Got a Feeling,& the quartet paused only briefly with a ballad (&Brenda&) before delivering their two biggest and best hits of the time, &Loving You Is Sweeter Than Ever& and &Shake Me, Wake Me (When It's Over).& Hoping older listeners might be lured in by crossover versions of a few current hits, Motown devoted the last half to some seriously misguided covers: &Matchmaker,& &Quiet Nights of Quiet Stars,& &In the Still of the Night,& and a rather stiff version of the Beatles' &Michelle.& Though it reached the pop Top 40, doubtless most teenagers never even bothered flipping this one over, and the crossover material hasn't aged well.
