Reach Out is an album recorded by the Four Tops, issued on Motown Records in July 1967. It was the final Four Tops LP to be produced by Motown's main songwriting and production team, Holland–Dozier–Holland, who departed the label in late 1967 over money disputes.
The group's most successful studio LP, Reach Out includes six of the Four Tops' Top 20 singles: the #1 hit " Reach Out I'll Be There", the Top 10 singles " Standing in the Shadows of Love", " Bernadette", the Top 20 " 7-Rooms of Gloom", and their Top 20 covers of Tim Hardin's " If I Were a Carpenter" and the Left Banke's " Walk Away Renée") both of which reached the UK Top 10.
Rounding out the LP are a pair of Monkees covers (" Last Train to Clarksville" and " I'm a Believer"), a cover of The Association's " Cherish", and the originals "Wonderful Baby" and "What Else Is There to Do (But Think About You)". Reach Out was followed one month later by a Four Tops' Greatest Hits album, which contained all of the group's hit singles to that point.
