It's Not the Same Old Song

This song was released on July 9, 1965. Even though this group had other songs that seemed to be more popular, this one was my favorites.

Here's the story on how the song was made according to Wikipedia: Duke Fakir recalled: Lamont Dozier and I were both a little tipsy and he was changing the channels on the radio. He said, 'It sounds like the same old song.' And then he said, 'Wait a minute.' So he took 'I Can't Help Myself' and reversed it using the same chord changes. By 5 P.M., The Tops had recorded the song and mixing began.
