"I Can't Help Myself" is a 1965 song recorded by the Four Tops for the Motown label.
Written and produced by Motown's main production team Holland–Dozier–Holland, "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 topped the Billboard's R&B chart for nine weeks (being named the biggest R&B single of the year by Billboard) and also peaked at No.1 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 label mates the Supremes. It was first unseated at No.1 by "Mr. Tambourine Man" by the Byrds, then regained the top spot before being replaced by the Rolling Stones' "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction". 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 No.23 at the end of 1965, then reaching No.10 in its early 1970 re-release.

There is a slight hum on your track but I don't know if there is anything you can do about it. It's not noticeable once the song gets going.

I turned the backing track up so that arejay222 can hear the vocals better.

Applied the Revup67 mix again. Moved the drums back to 00,00,000. I don't know how they got so far off. Remember, the color stereo mix will be gone when I delete it at the end. Its volume is currently set to zero. What we are hearing now is the original black and white mono BT for accuracy.Published again with current audio settings.

@Revup67: Backed the sax and strings off just a bit after listening through speakers, The rhythm section really drives this song!
