Motown, soul and classic oldies with harmonies and handclaps. Pure feel-good from the oldies station of your mind.
I’ll Be There Tops is a 58-song trip through 60s soul, Motown, doo-wop and classic oldies. Roy Orbison and Frankie Valli & The Four Seasons lead with four songs each, the Four Tops bring three, and Tommy James & The Shondells, The Beatles, Elvis Presley and Bobby Darin each show up twice.
It opens with The Staple Singers’ “I’ll Take You There,” then moves through Percy Sledge’s “When a Man Loves a Woman,” The Kingsmen’s “Louie Louie,” Sly & The Family Stone’s “Everyday People,” The Foundations’ “Build Me Up Buttercup,” Herman’s Hermits’ “Wonderful World” and Roy Orbison’s “I Drove All Night.” Jacob Banks’ modern soul track “Unholy War” adds a bold surprise. It’s full of harmonies, horns, handclaps and the kind of melodies that never go out of style. Perfect for a Sunday dinner, a road trip with the grandparents or a kitchen dance while the radio of your mind stays tuned to the oldies station. Pure feel-good music.
