Main Street People

Main Street People is the twelfth album by R&B group the Four Tops, released in 1973. It produced three singles, one of which, Sweet Understanding Love was the group's last top 40 single in the USA for eight years. The album itself did not enjoy the commercial success the group was used to: 'Main Street People didn't do near what it should have done,' Abdul Fakir said in 1982, 'considering the quality of the material.'[3][4]
