"Reach Out I'll Be There" (also formatted as "#ReachOut (I'll Be There)") is a song recorded by the American vocal #quartet #FourTops from their fourth studio album, Reach Out (1967). Written and produced by #Motown's main production team, #HollandDozierHolland, the song is one of the most widely-known Motown hits of the 1960s and is today considered the Four Tops' signature song. It was the number one song on the #RhythmAndBluesChart for two weeks.

Erykah Badu, Worldwide Underground, 2003 on Motown

This was Badu’s third album, following Baduizm (1997) and Mama’s Gun (2000). It was produced by Freakquency (Badu along with Rashad Smith, James Poyser, and RC Williams) and features dead prez (Stic Man and M1) on “The Grind.” Lenny Kravitz guests on guitar, Roy Hargrove on trumpet and vocals, and Queen Latifah, Angie Stone, and Bahamadia guest on “Love of My Life.”

My copy is a recent (2024?) reissue direct from uDiscover music, where the track list on the rear cover actually matches the label and the music (earlier versions did not include the intro and outro). Very happy to find a clean vinyl copy of this record.
