Music Monday Follow-Up 1/17/17

Follow up to yesterday's #MusicMonday. I love me a good crossover, and so did Motown, having quite a few acts team up for various albums. The Four Tops teamed up with The Supremes—post Diana at this point—for three different albums in two years, with the super-pairing (and 1st album) being referred to as "The Magnificent Seven". Quite fitting as they did some pretty good work covering "River Deep, Mountain High" and yesterday's selection, "Without the One You Love"; with "Without the One You Love" seeing a more typical funk production of the label at the time. Glad they kept the strings. It allows the lifting feeling of the original to remain here.
