WKNR KEENER 13: BOB GREEN & J. MIKE WILSON, 1966!

**WKNR KEENER KEY MEN of MUSIC:** *Bob Green* and *J. Michael Wilson* circa 1966

A MOTOWN SNAPSHOT FLASHBACK: THE 4 TOPS, 1968!

**‘YESTERDAY’S DREAMS’** is the seventh overall and sixth studio album recorded by the Four Tops, issued by Motown Records in August 1968. The album was recorded as the main Motown songwriting/producing partnership of Holland–Dozier–Holland were leaving the label, and as a result only contains one song from them, *“I’m in a Different World”,* which was released as a single. There are several other original Motown songs on the album, including the title track, “Remember When”, *“We’ve Got a Strong Love (On Our Side)”,* *“Can’t Seem to Get You out of My Mind”* and a cover of Stevie Wonder’s “A Place In The Sun“. The rest are cover songs produced by Ivy Jo Hunter and Frank Wilson. Hunter and Frank Wilson altered *“By the Time I Get to Phoenix,” “Sunny,”* and even *“Daydream Believer”* to sound more natural next to a real Motown song like *“Remember When.”* If it never hit the chart heights of 1967’s Reach Out, Yesterday’s Dreams still proved more of a solid listen. *(Source: WiKipedia and AllMusic)*
