Yahoo LAUNCHCAST song of the day

Artist:The Four Tops
Song:Ain't No Woman (Like The One I Got)
Album:Keepers Of The Castle:Their Best 1972-1978




Of course The Four Tops and lead singer Levi Stubbs are closely identified with the Motown Sound. But a lot of people don't know that they actually left Motown for ABC-Dunhill Records in the early 70s. Ain't No Woman was a big hit in 1972 but it's not a Motown song. It was produced by ABC Records house producer Steve Barri and writen by Dennis Lambert & Brian Potter. Keeper Of The Castle is the one collection devoted to their 70s music. The later stuff isn't very good. Motown also issued a 2CD 50th Anniversary Anthology in 2004 that includes their Dunhill recordings. The song turns up on a lot of various artists comps too. This might be one of those songs you buy individually for your iPod.
