According to Robert Reynolds, in The Music of Bobby Vee, there are some good tracks besides “My Girl/Hey Girl” and “Just Keep it Up”, but even a similar medley attempt at combining the Four Tops splendid classics “I Can’t Help Myself/The Same Old Song”, does not capture the freshness of “My Girl/Hey Girl”. a R&B LP was planned, Regardless, of what might have been done with those tracks, the best songs on the Just Today and Do What You Gotta Do albums were the new tracks.[2]
