The Four Tops were around for eleven years before they broke through with "Baby I Need Your Loving" in 1964. It was their first single for Motown Records and reached the #11 on the Billboard Hot 100. The investment paid off for Motown, and The Four Tops became one of the most successful and enduring acts on the label. It was also their first million-selling hit single, and the first of many Motown hits for the group. Rolling Stone magazine ranked the group's original version of the song at #390 on their list of the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time.
