Perhaps the most disappointing post-inaugural album rock group ever. At least they have enough hits and covers to complete a concert.

I’m having trouble figuring out what a “post-inaugural album rock group ever” is.

Love the song, but love this one even more because of the message.... 7 Day Weekend!

Mrs. Gambit is a big fan of Jay and the Americans. Her favorite song is less often heard and so I will play it here. Sunday and Me, dedicated to the love of my life.....

I saw the Four Tops in concert at Rec Hall in November, 1967. It should be noted that this was during an 18 month period where my future wife and I had spit up because her parents thought we were too serious. I got a call from a high school female friend who had 2 extra tickets that I could have but the catch was that I had to take a "blind date" which was a sorority sister of hers. I agreed, but she failed to tell me that the seats were not together but a row and 5 seats apart. Fortunately, when others around us realized the problem, they moved, and we sat "tightly" together. As it turned out, sitting apart would have been better as we were not very compatible and never went out again.
By the way, tickets to that concert were $2.50. Really.
