"Bernadette" is a 1967 hit song recorded by The Four Tops for the Motown label. Written and produced by Motown's main production team Holland-Dozier-Holland, the song is one of the most well-known Motown tunes of the 1960s. Depicting a man's excessive desire and jealousy over his girlfriend, "Bernadette" reached #4 on the Billboard Hot 100, and was The Four Tops's final Top 10 hit of the 1960s; This was also a request from one of the group to be written for a Bernadette for whom he had met during his visits to the UK. 1972's "Keeper of the Castle" would return them to the Top 10 five years later.
