Reach Out is an album recorded by the Four Tops, issued on Motown Records in July 1967. It was the final Four Tops LP to be produced by Motown's main songwriting and production team, Holland–Dozier–Holland, who departed the label in late 1967 over money disputes.

Reach Out’ was on the charts in no time, and made No. 1 pop when it took over at the Hot 100 summit from the Association’s ‘Cherish. As its two-week reign ended there, it started another on the R&B register, and a three-week run at the UK summit. Even if it’s widely recorded that the producers had Bob Dylan‘s concurrent success in mind when they requested similar urgency in Stubbs’ vocal performance, it’s still instructive to look back at how the Tops themselves described the song. So they went away and came back with ‘Reach Out And I’ll Be There’. I think it’s the best piece of folk-rock that’s been around in a long time. Not too many who made it a transatlantic No. 1 would necessarily call it folk-rock, but they’d all call it a soul classic. Reach Out I’ll Be There’ is on the Four Tops’ Reach Out album, which can be bought here. Follow uDiscover’s Four Tops Best Of playlist.

The Four Tops recorded this in just two takes, and had practically forgotten about the song until it was released, assuming it was a "throwaway" album track. Motown boss Berry Gordy had other ideas and released it as a single. Gordy had a knack for identifying hit songs, and got this one right. This was one of many hits the nd team wrote for The Four Tops They just missed having seven Top 10 records when "Still Water (Love)" in 1970 and "When She Was My Girl" in 1981 both peaked at

The Four Tops’ 1966 song Reach Out, I’ll Be There is a feel-good Motown Records classic and one of the group’s biggest hits. The Four Tops were a vocal quartet from Detroit, led by singer Levi Stubbs. Reach Out, I’ll Be There was written by Motown’s defining songwriter trio nd-composed of Lamont Dozier and brothers Brian and Eddie Holland. While Dozier and Brian Holland handled the production and composition of their songs, Eddie Holland would write the lyrics and arrange vocals
