Main Street People
Main Street People is the twelfth album by R&B group the Four Tops, released in 1973. It produced three singles, one of which, Sweet Understanding Love was the group's last top 40 single in the USA for eight years. The album itself did not enjoy the commercial success the group was used to: 'Main Street People didn't do near what it should have done,' Abdul Fakir said in 1982, 'considering the quality of the material.'[3][4]

gollark: > In mid-2019, part of IPv4 range was sold off for conventional use, due to IPv4 address exhaustion. I see.
gollark: /9 means that the first 9 bits of the address are the same for the things within the block of IPs.
