About The Song
“Ain’t No Woman (Like the One I’ve Got)” is a song written by Dennis Lambert and Brian Potter, released as a single by the Four Tops on the ABC/Dunhill record label, from the album Keeper of the Castle. The song was originally recorded by the singing trio of Hamilton, Joe Frank & Reynolds and released on their 1972 album, Hallway Symphony.
The Four Tops’ hit version was led by longtime singer Levi Stubbs, and included special co-lead spots by the other Tops, Lawrence Payton, Renaldo “Obie” Benson and Abdul “Duke” Fakir, in that respective order during the chorus. The words tell about the love a man feels for the woman with whom he is having a relationship.
It was the Four Tops’ second single release on ABC after leaving Motown in 1972, and became their most successful post-Motown top 40 hit, reaching number four on the US Pop Singles chart. It was also another big success for the group on the US R&B Singles chart, where it peaked at number two. This was the biggest hit for The Four Tops after their departure from Motown.
