Nature Planned It is a studio album by American vocal group the Four Tops, released on April 17, 1972.[1] It was released under the Motown record label and was produced by Frank Wilson.[2] On its first release the lp charted poorly as the group was re-negotiating to re-sign with Motown. After being offered what they considered an insulting sum to remain with the label, the group then signed with ABC Dunhill and began work on their first lp there entitled Keeper Of The Castle. Motown then re-issued the album to thwart their future sales at another label and the lp did much better peaking at No. 50 on the Billboard Pop Charts. Rolling Stone magazine gave this album a glowing revue thus spurring sales. This would be their final studio album for Motown until 1983 when they returned to the company after the smashing success of their Motown 25 television appearance with The Temptations.
