Farewell My Love "Farewell My Love" is a 1963 single by The Temptations for the Gordy (Motown) label. It was the last single that was written and produced by Motown president Berry Gordy for well over a decade, and the last released during the period of the "Original 5" lineup (before member Elbridge "Al" Bryant was fired). It is also noted as the group's last single to miss the "Billboard" pop chart's Top 40 until 1971's "It's Summer" (and the last to not make it on any U.S. music charts for the next 23 years). Up until now the group was jokingly referred to at this time as the "Hitless Temptations" by the Motown staff, much like their "sister" group, The Supremes, were called the "no-hit Supremes". However, their next single, the Smokey Robinson-produced "The Way You Do the Things You Do", would reach the Top 20 of the U.S. pop chart, breaking the group's streak of being "hitless".

High Time (song) "High Time" is the third and final single from the 1983 album, "Kilroy Was Here", by Styx. It reached number 48 on the U.S. "Billboard" Hot 100 singles chart. According to a 2009 interview Dennis DeYoung did with Styxcollector.com, "High Time" was released as the third single at the last minute by A&M Records. This happened because Styx member Tommy Shaw refused to have his song "Haven't We Been Here Before", which had an accompanying music video directed by Steve Barron, released. There was also animosity over the band refusing his choice of a live version of the "Kilroy Was Here" track "Cold War" to be included on the band's 1984 live album "Caught in the Act", but instead was only released as a video. Because of Shaw's actions, in part, momentum on the "Kilroy" album stalled, and it quickly fell out of popularity.
