Four Tops Second Album, out on Motown in 1965, catches the Detroit quartet in full stride as the main male voices for the Holland-Dozier-Holland hit factory, with Smokey Robinson also in the production credits. Levi Stubbs, a baritone in a world of tenor-led groups, sings like every line is a matter of life and death, while Abdul "Duke" Fakir, Renaldo "Obie" Benson and Lawrence Payton stack the harmonies behind him.
It's the Motown sound at its most polished and punchy, and it's loaded. "I Can't Help Myself (Sugar Pie, Honey Bunch)" went to number one on both the pop and R&B charts, "It's the Same Old Song" reached number two R&B and number five pop, and "Something About You" made the top 20 on both. The album itself climbed to number three on Billboard's Black Albums chart and number 20 on the Top LPs chart.
