1967
YOU CAN'T BE HAPPY * THE CLARENDONIANS * ISLAND 3041 * UK
Written by the brilliant songwriting trio Holland-Dozier-Holland this song was originally recorded by the Four Tops and issued on the B side of their massive hit Reach Out I'll Be There, on Motown 1098 in 1966. This is no mere simulacrum by the Clarendonians though, but, what might be called, an equal but different version.
