Lost and Found: Breaking Through. The Four Tops' early years as a jazz-vocal group are generally glossed over in capsule histories. Long before they signed to Motown - nearly a full decade as a matter of fact - they had been one of the popular Detroit jazz-vocal groups, earning the admiration of such luminaries as Smokey Robinson and Billy Eckstine, whom the group supported. After some persuasion, the group signed with Motown on the condition that they could record jazz. Gordy's fears were not unfounded - indeed, had the album that comprises Breaking Through (1963-1964) been put out in 1964, it likely wouldn't have found much of an audience. Still, Breaking Through is a strong record, firmly within its tradition and working well on those terms.
