Professional ratings Review scores Source Rating AllMusic [ 2]
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 US 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]
