These were the record singles you bought in 1966. Many went on to become the most popular radio airplays heard on AM radio in Detroit, October 1966, on Top 40 WKNR, WXYZ, CKLW and also on conservative album-oriented, easy-listening WJBK and WJR radio.

A MCRFB Note: The title of the song in the above 1972 Motown “YESTERYEAR” single re-issue is an obvious misprint. “You Keep Running Away,” written by Holland-Dozier-Holland, would be one the the last few singles the Four Tops recorded written by the Motown song-writing trio prior their departure from the label, latter 1967.
