Night Lights Harmony

1975 studio album by Four Tops

Night Lights Harmony is a 1975 studio album by American soul music vocal group Four Tops, released by ABC Records.

Reception

Editors at AllMusic Guide scored this release two out of five stars.[1] The 1992 edition of The Rolling Stone Album Guide also rated this release two out of five stars.[2] In Portraying Performer Image in Record Album Cover Art , art critic Ken Bielen suggests that the cover painting—a departure from most Four Tops albums that feature photographs of the performers—shows the harmony that group`s vocals can give listeners by combining the busy cityscape of Times Square along with the exotic birds meeting in the sky.[3]
