Too contrived. Might as well listen to Pat Boone mess it up.

I saw the reorganized Four Tops live a few mths ago and Peoples (the only living member) told the story of how they ended up covering this song. While they were rehearsing in a studio, their manager, agent, etc were looking on from above. One of 'em bet to everyone watching that the Tops could make any song in the world a hit. The others took the bet and they chose this tune by the Left Banke (as it was on the Billboard Top 10 at the time) for the Tops to cover for the bet. Rest is history.

@sandidesert It was The Spinners. The name of the song is "Rubberband Man". And they were not with Motown at the time, they were with Atlantic.

@Debbera1 Not necissarily true. I think that most would agree that 2 Whitney Houston songs ("Greatest Love of all" and "I will always Love you") were extremely more successful than they were for the original artists.

Interesting, I'm a child of the 60s myself, but I like both versions. The Left Bank's version is great too. A young teenager wrote this song, that's the most amazing thing.

MowtownMaster ....
Learn how to give credit where it's due .... The Four Tops are preforming their version of the hit song "Walk away Renee" an earlier, original hit written and preformed by The Left Banke! You didn't even have the class to at least say that much? LAME!
