│ │
│ The Four Tops' early years as a jazz-vocal group are │
│ generally glossed over in capsule histories. Long before │
│ they signed to Motown ù nearly a full decade as a matter │
│ of fact ù they had been one of the popular Detroit │
│ jazz-vocal groups, earning the admiration of such │
│ luminaries as Smokey Robinson and Billy Eckstine, whom the │
│ group supported. After some persuasion, the group signed │
│ with Motown on the condition that they could record jazz. │
│ Over the course of a year, they cut nearly two albums' │
│ worth of material, which boiled down to one album, │
│ Breaking Through. Berry Gordy pulled the record at the │
│ last minute, believing that it would have been a │
│ commercial failure. Gordy's fears were not unfounded ù │
│ indeed, had the album that comprises Breaking Through │
│ (1963-1964) been put out in 1964, it likely wouldn't have │
│ found much of an audience. Still, Breaking Through is a │
│ strong record, firmly within its tradition and working │
│ well on those terms. The Four Tops may not sound as │
│ distinctive singing jazz as they did with pop-soul, but │
│ they are convincing, as are the Motown house band. Neither │
│ of them take many chances, however. The songs are │
│ primarily standards, plus four new songs that feel like │
│ standards, all given good generic arrangements. This may │
│ sound like a dismissal, but it isn't; it's hard to do this │
│ kind of music right, but the group most certainly does. │
│ And it's not just one member that shines; everyone gets to │
│ take a lead, and the results are uniformly strong. Even │
│ so, Breaking Through appeals primarily to hardcore fans of │
│ the group, plus a handful of straight-ahead vocal-jazz │
│ aficionados. Reminiscent of a cross between Eckstine and │
│ the Four Freshmen, it's good stuff, but it's essentially a │
│ curiosity. │
