These Songs Are Said To Be The Best To Ever Be Written

‘Baby I Need Your Loving’ – The Four Tops

The Four Tops were performing in a Detroit nightclub when Brian Holland called and said he had a song ready for them. They arrived at Hitsville at 2 a.m. after their gig to record “Baby I Need Your Loving,” which would become their first Motown song.

‘Just My Imagination’ – The Temptations

Eddie Kendricks, who sang lead on the Temptations’ debut song, “The Way You Do the Things You Do,” in 1964, sang his final lead as a member of the group. Kendricks had departed the group for a solo career by the time the song reached Number One. But he gave it his best on this one: The night they cut it, Tempt Otis Williams said he left the studio at 6 a.m., and Kendricks was still there, working on his part.
