“If I Were A Carpenter” (Four Tops) #20 6/8/1968

Rarely does a song succeed in several different genres. Written and first done by folkie Tim Hardin (who also wrote “Reason To Believe,” made famous by Rod Stewart), this was the last major hit for Bobby Darin. It also was a huge country hit for Johnny Cash and June Carter. In between, the Four Tops recorded a rather soulful version here featuring the great lead vocals of Levi Stubbs.
