Four Tops [1972] - Keeper Of The Castle [Dunhill #DSX 50129] (Full Album)


Maintaining the Motown connection with the last post from The Originals, except the same year (1972) the Four Tops left Motown and recorded their first non-Motown album for Dunhill "Keeper Of The Castle". 

Like the Ben E. King album I was just going to post the modern soul, album only spin, "When Tonight Meets Tomorrow" but as the full album is available on Spotify and contains some great tracks then the full album it is.

Two singles were released from the album, the title track "Keeper Of The Castle" with "Jubilee With Soul" and "Ain't No Woman (Like The One I've Got)" c/w "Peace Of Mind" both of which did well achieving top 10 status on Billboard hot 100.  There's also the original version of "Love Music" which was also recorded by Lloyd Price and Sergio Mendes & Brasil '77 the following year amongst several others.

It is available digitally but can be picked up for peanuts on vinyl.
