“Nature Planned It” by Four Tops - album review
features in: Album Chart of 1972 ● Album Chart of the Decade: 1970s |

I’m on a downer straight from the off as they croon away on “I Am Your Man” – straight away it’s clear this is not going to be for me. The Four Tops of 1972 are completely middle of the road with only occasional flickers of a decent funky groove. Once again producer Frank Wilson adds some subtle touches to try and keep things interesting, tom toms, flutes and sitars are buried in here, with occasionally tough-ass bass lines. There are not enough of these touches, and when they do appear they’re not prominent enough. We’re deeply in Supper Club Soul Revue territory here – it’s not a place I like to hang out…
