The Four Tops-I Can't Help Myself (Sugar Pie, Honey Bunch)

Who's listening in 2024?

This song came out when I was dating my future husband in the 1960's and the last words he said to me before he passed away seven years ago were, "You are My Sugar Pie Honey Bunch!" A gem of a song.💖

As a Metal-Head, this is one of those songs that I secretly listen to when no one's around. Love classic tracks like this

I’m 31 and eternally grateful for Motown

I’m 73, had a hip replacement last year; and still moving to the beat. Love this song!

Heard some elementary school kids singing this on their way to school one morning. This isn’t their parents music, it’s their grandparents. Families must play some good music for kids that young to know this.

As I write this, Lamont Dozier has passed away at age 81. My heart is heavy and I feel immense loss, but will be forever grateful for his beautiful songs and the mark that he left in the world of music. Rest on Lamont! They don't make 'em like you anymore!! Music wouldn't be the same without you!!!!

My mom used to sing this for me when I was young, I sang it for her at her 90th birthday 😁😭😭memories

I was here for this I was 15. I'm now 66. Seems like yesterday in so many ways.... till I look in the mirror for a reality check lol

I remember playing this with my buddies back in Vietnam, even though we were at war there were good times,...

My mum loved this song . 1939 to 2000 . Miss you .

Im 20 and this song takes me back when my grandparents and parents would listen to this on the radio and we would dance along to it. The old ones are always the best ones

Ain't nothing like Motown. Yes, it is 2019, I'm 70, and still grooven to it. This white girl still has a whole lotta soul.

My best mate is dead, this was his favourite song. Now after all these years it's mine. God bless you mate x

I had bought a teddy bear for my grandson when he was 2 years old for Valentine's Day and it played this song. We would dance to it. He loved it ❤❤❤❤❤ Great song such a HAPPY Song 🤗✌🏾

Still sounds great. Back when music was simple, had meaningful words, sounded great and was entertaining to watch the singers perform.

see im 17, and my parents raised me with all types of music but the oldies hit different

This song can never be LOUD ENOUGH🔥👠💄😎

Even now, fifty-seven years later, I still love this song and ALL the Four Tops' music. Motown forever..RIP, Levi Stubbs. 😪 🙏 ❤️❤️❤️❤️

I can't help myself Sugar pie, honey bunch You know that I love you I can't help myself I love you and nobody else In and out my life You come and you go Leaving just your picture behind And I kissed it a thousand times When you snap your finger or wink your eye I come a-running to you I'm tied to your apron strings And there's nothing that I can do I can't help myself No, I can't help myself 'Cause sugar pie, honey bunch I'm weaker than a man should be I can't help myself I'm a fool in love, you see Wanna tell you I don't love you Tell you that we're through And I've tried Every time I see your face I get all choked up inside When I call your name Girl, it starts a flame Burning in my heart, tearing it all apart No matter how I try, my love I cannot hide Sugar pie, honey bunch You know that I'm waiting for you (waiting for you) I can't help myself I love you and nobody else Sugar pie, honey bunch I'd do anything you ask me to I can't help myself I want you and nobody else Sugar pie, honey bunch You know that I love you I can't help myself No, I can't help myself

I'm not gonna knock my generation's or even this generation's music, I dig it all, but sometimes I wish I could have been around in the era when this hit first dropped just to experience it firsthand.

My daughter is two and she loves this song she lights up Everytime she hears it 😍😍

The fact that so many people still love this song both young and old makes me so happy. My grandpa introduced me to this song when I was only 5. 8 years later and I still love it!

Some songs just age well and feel like they were released yesterday. This is one of them. A true masterpiece! 💜

This was me and my dad’s favorite song before he died

I am sitting here crying because this song reminds me of my aunt Elisa who passed away in August of 2019. She was a kind and beautiful soul. She loved music from the 50s and 60s and has all of these old songs on 45s!! My uncle Eddie had a retirement party way back in 1962 and she went all the way back home to get her record player and records just so everyone could dance!! She was my friend, my protector, my north star and my God mother!! I know that she is an angel in Heaven now and she is still dancing!! To my beautiful aunt Elisa, I was blessed to have you in my life and for that I thank God everyday!! love you and I miss you so much!!!

Lordy, the wonderful memories this brings back. I'm 77 and this was a favorite if mine. A great group. Aahhh the good old days!!😂❤❤❤

I fell in love with a guy who sang this song in a talent show when I was in junior high school in the mid60s! Still love this song!!❤️

Some of the best, beautiful, classy and most enjoyable music ever. They don't make music like this anymore. I was painting an empty bedroom in my house this week and had the Four Tops greatest hits, The Temptations, The Association and so many more great artists from that period blasting on my Bose portable speaker and signing along, never has painting been more fun and enjoyable. These men and groups were blessed with amazing voices and gifted us with music that still stands the test of time. They just don't make music like this anymore, music that makes you happy and joyful and just want to love being alive.

I’m going through a heartbreaking experience, but this song lifts me up in a way no one else can. Things will get better.

27 years old. My grandmother raised me and this is in my head right now. ❤

One of if not their best song of all time and one of my fav soul bands of all time absolutely love this song

This song started out as a love letter to someone's sweetheart and turned into a beautiful song of love and admiration. All great songs make great poems. This is one of them.

WHO ELSE JAMMING DURING QUARANTINE

One of the best songs of all time. They will be playing this in 500 years

Such a great song! The Four Tops had many great songs. I don't just hear Levi's voice, I feel it! RIP Levi

That voice is pure gold! Four Tops had some of the best melodies ever, this makes me smile.

This is just one of those songs that instantly makes you feel like it's going to be a great day! :D

My grandfather played with them once when they came to Kansas City. This is real music that brings tears to my eyes.

The Classic Motown sounds will always stand alone. My Dad exposed me to it. It was the music of his generation and youth. I’ve exposed my Children to it. I hope this music never dies.

I'm a 28 year old guy & this right here is what music really is. Not this crap they play today!

Four Tops, Temptations, Diana & The Supremes, Marvin Gaye, Stevie Wonder, Smokey Robinson & The Miracles, Martha & The Vandellas.. is it any wonder how Motown was one of the most successful labels of the 60s and 70s, and the premier soul and r&b label of said era? This stuff is amazing.

A classic!! Forever hits 🔥🔥🇰🇪

Ah, the 60's, and I was there for every single second. Thank you, Jesus.

This is the song my grandpa always played and he always would see it with me when I was young and he just recently passed away so I cry every time I hear this. Rip paps

Despite being from Generarion Z (current generation of teenagers), I still feel incredible nostalgia whenever I hear this. This is mostly because when I used to be in elementary school as a young kid, old songs like Ain't No Mountain High Enough, Come On Eilene, and Sugar Pie Honey Bunch used to be played on the speakers of the school during dismissal. It was a truly joyful and blissful experience at such a young age. Moreover, the overall vibe that this song gives off is timeless and epic in its own sort of way. If anybody in this comment section was alive or listening to these kinds of songs when they came out, I salute you since your generation defenitely knew what "true" music used to be like. I wish you the best of luck!

This was my nanas entry song at her funeral, she passed to soon she didnt even make it to 60 i loved her more than anything in this world

I Can't Help Myself is a classic golden oldie! I've said it before and I will say it again "If you got to grow up with the 50's through the 80's music YOU were blessed!".

I showed this to my girlfriend and now she's my GIRLFRIEND

Who else is still listening to these guys and their music????

2021 could be great for me.. bought a new car, finished a degree, got a new job that Im happy with but also lost a love of my life.. still cant understand why.. life is tough, would gave everything to have her back

Holy crap....the Four Tops...I'm trying to mop the floor and I can't stop dancing with the handle.....!!!!

This came out in April of 1965 when I was 21 and I was stationed in Vietnam. I left my newlywed wife behind in Florida with our twin baby girls while I went to fight for our freedom. I remember that summer in Nam was amazingly hot. I didn't realize at the time that myself & my soldier buddies was a part of something so great & I would make some amazing friendships that would last forever. When I came back from Nam my father gifted me a 1965 Alpha Romeo Spider at the Airport & we took a family trip to the Bahamas. Good times. Miss you dad x

I'm 26, and I will never forget the first time I heard this genre.. I was 3 and called it, "Happy music"

The first single I ever bought and owned... my older sister turned me onto American R&B. This is such a cherished song for me. Motor City Soul rarely sounded better than this Holland Dozier Holland masterpiece. This was the golden age of dance music... The Tops an elite group.

Man, this was good stuff!!!! I was 16 in 1965, a sophomore in high school and the world was my oyster. Until I got drafted 3 years later and my ass went to 'Nam!!! LOL!!

such a nice, wholesome, fun little song. There is still some good music nowadays, but most kinds of music really peaked in the 60s and 70s in my opinion

Sugar pie honey bunch, mine and my wife's song when we first met 1965 Hawaii when I was stationed there aboard ship, married 1966 passed 2016 thanks for the memories

over covid my cousin and I replayed this song while on call, loved every minute. we made videos, and put them together even though we were apart. some of my best memories

Can't be the only 22 year old who likes old songs .... ffs my room was elvis Presley growing up 🤣 shame my kids are going to think my old music is like ancient songs when they are my age ... another 20 year to go for them

When I was little, I thought they were saying "Suga pie honey bun." 😂😂😂

I'm only 19, and this is the kind of music I listen to 24/7, all classics. My parents raised me on classic country, rock n roll, etc.. I cannot stand new age music. Love these guys! Talk about true talent.

2023 and beyond....80's baby, I'm living this right now...may be my wedding song 😊...Louisiana strong 💪🏾

This jam hits HARD when ur seriously crushing on that gorgeous "someone"!

1965 was such a good year for music.

David Lynch is thinking bout this song today

Levi Stubbs possibly the best voice in soul ever.

Such a happy song , i was born in 1980 but wish i could of lived in the 60s , what a beautiful era it must of been

Motown gold never gets old. Perfect song when you need a pick me up.

My husband used to sing the song to each other. I was sugar pie. and he was my honey bunch. I am listening to this as I reminst of the almost 47 years we had together. Nine months ago today he was called home to heaven. I miss him so much. Thank you for this song that helps me remember my 'honey bunch'.I love and miss you so much'!

One of the greatest groups of all time

This song is just perfect!

I wanna be the first in here to say that this is still a banger in 2020.

This comment is to remind me of how it’s 8:15 pm on a Friday night. I’m riding in my dads Grand Prix with my mom also. He just re- pin striped it. Looks fire. 🔥 I love my parents with all my heart. ❤️ I pray I have them forever. It’s hard to not shed a tear knowing I may not have them someday but I’ll remember the good times. And hell the bad times too. I’ll cherish every memory. 💕💕

Love The Oldies Still Listening In 2023 KENTUCKY

"Hi Oscar!" "I can't talk right now, I got to find Angie. I need to tell her that I LOVE HER"

This song lifts my spirits.

ONE OF THE GREATEST SONGS OF ALL TIME

I'm 989 years old and nobody listens to this from my generation. My generation music is awful, but this is the bees knees!!!

The Four Tops Version Of This Song, Went To Number 1 On The Billboard Hot-100 Chart In 1965.

Still love this track...I'm a 65 year old grandmother who loved motown, in UK but brought up on this beautiful sound late 60's onwards. Remember vinyl motown chartbusters and Diana Ross & supreme next with 'up the ladder to the roof' very happy days ❤

When my dad came home from Vietnam, Motown and Andy Williams is all he listened to. I don't know what he went through but it made him get through it. Now that Ive been a police officer for 24 years. I understand. I miss him.

Motown, best genre of music bestowed upon us all. 🙏

Beside the amazing voice of Levi Stubbs the thing that really touched a piece of my soul was the first time I was able to hear this with headphones. It was sometime in the 80s and I was doing yard work and listening to Oldies. All of a sudden the violins began to play and it truly stopped me dead in my tracks.. I had heard them before but NEVER, EVER like this.. it was a moment I will Never forget. Soundtrack of my youth 🎼🖤

One of my favorite songs that came on at my first job at a store. I’d always sing and whistle it, still love it! I guess I can’t help myself 😉

When I was young, in the 1960's, the family, of our black building superindentent, used to take care of me. (My Mother was single and worked) Their daughter's name was Lucille, but she was called Sugar Pie. For Christmas of 67, they gave their son, Bubba, a drum set. We used to play and dance Mo town all the time. I have an exceptional amount of soul and rhythm for a white guy.

I feel so privileged to be in my prime growing up in this era of simply the best music ever.Also so pleased to have seen most of the motown family performing live on several occasions.Will never forget every body just dancing to these great groups .

29 year old from UK.. thank you to the generation that made this music

Classic rock fan from my teenage years, but have always loved Motown too. This is one of the best.

Played this song on my record player, 1966, 60's music will never be beat.
