Sugar pie honey bunch...you know that I love you..I can't help myself..I love you and no one else.

"I Can't Help Myself" is one of the most well-known Motown recordings of the 1960s and among the decade's biggest hits. The single reached number one on Billboard's R&B chart and also peaked at number one on the Hot 100 for two non-consecutive weeks, from June 12 to June 19 and from June 26 to July 3 in 1965. It replaced "Back in My Arms Again" by labelmates The Supremes.

Billboard ranked the record as the second biggest single of 1965. "I Can't Help Myself" was the Four Tops' first Top 40 single in the UK, peaking at 23 in the summer of 1965, then reaching 10 on its spring 1970 re-release. Rolling Stone magazine ranked the song #415 on their list of the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time. It has been covered extensively since 1965, including versions done for several television commercials. In 2019, Applebee's used the song for one of their advertisements.

One of the best Motown songs ever.  Also this group's best song.

#148 on Billboard's 500 Greatest Pop Songs

You Know What It Is: A chart-topping cry for requited love, crafted around the pleading lead vocals of Levi Stubbs — with lots of help from the peerless crew at Motown’s “Hitsville U.S.A.” studio in Detroit.

Who Put the Bomp: The masterful songwriting team of Lamont Dozier and brothers Brian and Eddie Holland composed the song, and its irresistible groove was created by the uncredited Motown house band (anchored by bassist James Jamerson and drummer Benny Benjamin), later known as the Funk Brothers.

This Magic Moment: Listen to the number of times that Stubbs’ voice cracks in desperation as he seeks the sweet affections of his sugar pie, his honey bunch: “I get all choked up inside!”
