I have to say that I was fortunate to live in MO T MC to see and hear . some of these well know ICONS 👏 God bless bless everyone who's listening to this master piece 🙏🤝💃🙋
I love the Four Tops. I met Levi Stubbs as a teenager. He was as funny as a professional comedian. I'll never forget what he told me that day. He said he had the best life because he was able to travel the world with his 3 best friends. He felt he never had a job because he was always having fun. When you watch them perform, their friendship is so apparent. Levi purposely avoided looking towards Obie, Duke, and Lawrence because he would not be able to help smiling and fouling his performance. This television taping was likely in London. Notice the joy in the faces of the young viewers. There are many lessons here. Find the ones that resonate with you!! Namaste
Born in 1949 and guess what? Motown was right smack dab in my teens and at 73 I'm STILL diggin' it. RIP MOSOGOTAM. Glad we still have his genius archives. 🎼🎵🎶🎙🎤🎷🎸🎹🎺🎻
@@FaithBusselle Good for you! Glad to report I've made it to 75...a little less hair, a little more tonnage, but still "Alive and Kicking" (See what I did there?😉 And _you_ still remember the lyrics, right?😁)
Levi, the greatest of the greatest. He had many opportunities to go solo but he always maade it clear that it was Four Tops and not One Top. Man what a voice.
I totally agree with you. We have had some great voices, Marvin Gaye for example but for me Levi was the best of the best. He was so very loyal and had his principles along with his love for his 'family'. They were fabulous together and I think it was 42 years they had? I love the Four Tops so much.
@@hannahgilliam3026 U r of the old skool and good times. What is your favorite 4 Topps song. The tribute to my man Levi brought tears to my untearful eye. Miss the times that go with the music.
@@JeannieMitchellMyers Yeah. Unfortunately a Covid victim. Born in 1949, he left us on 4/5/2020. We are fortunate to have his body of work to continue to watch and listen to. I JUST LOVE HIS MIXES! Being born in 1949 myself, he and I lived through this music at the same time, and I truly can feel the work and love he put into these mixes. My biggest gripe about 60's music was they were too damned short (
@@brucestaples4510 Well said Bruce.John was the same age as me and often commented on his work and he never failed to reply .He has left an amazing legacy in his extensive mixes , and since he passed on , the number of subscribers has multiplied as new generations discover his wonderful work.They continue to give me enormous pleasure and are often revisited , usually played through my vintage high-powered ' Hi-Fi ' system to gain the maximum benefit .I grew up loving Motown music and it seems uncanny that all my favourites John added his magic to and as you rightly say they were just too damned short until John worked his magic - God bless him !.
@@brucestaples4510 That is so sad. It's no wonder there was no new extended versions from him for a while. May his soul be resting and peace. This is indeed very sad and unexpected news that I just found out today while scrolling through the comments.
Glad to have been a part of this Era..as a baby boomer I can only say..what wonderful memories this group as other left impressions upon my heart and soul. I had such a crush on Levi..and was only a teenager back then. Oh the innocence.
This group of sheer raw talent is the greatest of all time - bar none. No other group can match the class their class. They are undoubtedly the greatest.
As a kid ( no lie!) I used to think Motown songs came from heaven or somewhere magical. Nothing sounds like a Motown record. It’s not RnB it’s black pop. Intentionally! Berry sold music to the world not the hood. People had a problem with that but now look. He won! He was right. This song has so many beauty points before you even get to the vocals. The main one that not many people get is the musical mind of the bass player James Jamerson. He sparked so many ideas throughout the chain. From arrangers to musicians. I’d wait till the end just to hear him break formation and change those last 3 notes. Then the song ends. So beautiful I can’t describe it.
No one can match the incomparable voice of Levi Stubbs. A crushing loss to Motown fans when he passed. Thanks for the opportunity to listen to him at his best.
yes....saw him on a motown or music special - he was in a wheel chair - very sad to see such a vital man brought low. he was in tears at the ovation he received and so was i. ;-(
I agree that Levi Stubbs was one of the greatest voices of all time. Smokey Robinson is another great, the extended versions have been wonderful. Been listening to these guys since the 60s. I'm 64
@@mosogotam You've made my life better by me discovering them. The mixed are perfect I wish these were available for purchase? How about an extended on Marvin Gaye's "YOUR UNCHANGING LOVE? Thanks again.
I love the Four Tops more than any other group and Levi had the best voice over and above anyone else. I really miss them as a foursome, the way they just came together showed they were meant to be, they really were "Brothers" . The loyalty and respect they had for each other, their families and their fans. The Four Tops were and always will be "The Very Best" .
I found out earlier this year that the man responsible for this version and so many more posted under the name "mosogotam" died of Covid in April of 2020. His name was John Perrone. He was a part time radio host in the Cape Cod area. I never met him or spoke with him. But these audio masterpieces he created for TH-cam have enhanced my life.
In my opinion the best song ever recorded!!!! Knew this from the first time I heard it in 1964. Wonder what my kids will be listening to 52 years from now. Hopefully still the Four Tops!!!!!
I just heard this song for the first time this year, and I love it... thanks to TH-cam, younger generations have a chance to appreciate this marvellous music. It ages like fine wine. Must have been amazing to hear this sound when it was fresh in ‘64... did you first hear it on the radio?
@@mattc2094 Yes, heard it on the radio in Motor City. Absolutely great! Thinking about all the parties, cruising and general good times had to this music. Wish you could have been there! Musical Revolution.....
The music alone takes me back to my teenage years growing up in Cleveland Ohio in the 1960's. It was great times then. Not just for the music, but for Cleveland too. The extended versions are a hit in itself. The videos of how we dressed and our hair styles back then bring back wonderful memories too. This work is a A+. A big thanks!
It was the same here in South London, England. The Motown sound was prolific here during the '60s and '70s; we constantly danced and listened to it. It has echoed throughout my life and is loved by the youngsters in my family, too. Magic memories when listening to this track, which is excellently extended.
I'm aware that the creator of this channel has passed away. Wherever you are, my friend, be in peace and be blessed, thank you so very much fro the wonderful mixes and postings, from all my heart!
I am informed by subscribers Mosogotam succumbed to covid in April. We will miss his wonderful work won't we. Thank You Mosogotam, for all the years of wonderful interpretations, awesome postings. You are loved and missed. Rest Peacefully Good Friend.
The first time I heard the voice of Levi Stubbs, I was blown away...particularly when blended with the harmonies of the Tops. I was all of age 13. Today, the sensations that arise when I hear his vocals haven't diminished one bit.
micshig Since I discovered You Tube a few years back, I find myself listening to the Four Tops...and most Motown genuises....seemingly daily. Baby I Need Your Loving, Still Waters, my two favorites. Funny it is with each listen, I am reminded of yet another great memory inspired by the two songs...a dance, a first meeting with a girl, a half dozen of us sneaking out of the parent's house in order to spend a warm summer evening meandering about town...a thousand memories reminding me of a great era in my life. Ah, to be young again, eh?
Stubbs though obviously the voice of the 4 Tops refused top billing and a solo career out of loyalty to his fellow band members. Can you imagine that nowadays. What a guy and talent.
Who needs a man , when u have such a fine song , think this sends me to heaven and back , funny that's where dad is and he would always listen to the FOUR TOPS GOT 3 HAVE ALL UR LOVIN MMMMMM
It's about time I didn't know how long this extended mix been out but I wish I had it a long time ago, being 66 years old and a DJ I would still spin it❤❤❤❤❤❤😊😊
Penfold Smith Beautiful dedication. If this was his kind of music, then he was obviously a man with a great taste in music and with much class. May he rest in peace, and may you one day reunite with your dad and reminisce of the good old days! GOD bless!
Levi Stubbs had one of the best voices in pop music. He and the tops have always been one of my favorite singing groups and I can remember when I saw them in concert in the very early 2000s (2001-2002) and when they walked on to the stage Levi was limping really bad and I felt so bad for him because this was the beginning of his health issues. What a group and what a lead singer!
What great memories my mom and Pop dancing in the parlor these kids today don’t know what good music is I like being stuck in the 60s and 70s somewhere
This remix is pure genious, the only problem with the original gem was it was too short !, this prolongs the wonderful vocals of Levi as well as exploiting the fabulous melody to the full, enjoyed it so much - thanks .
YOU WILL LEARN WHAT IT MEANS TO LIVE WHEN YOU GET THE OPPORTUNITY TO HEAR LEVI STUBBS. JUST ONE OF THE GREATEST IN MY LIFETIME. MAY GOD BLESS HIM AND THOSE GREAT SINGERS WHO SHARED THEIR TALENT AND ENHANCED THE SOUL OF ALL FANS WHO LOVED THEM FOR THEIR CONTRIBUTION.
As a kid I was a bit strange when it came to records. I listened from the back to the front. The smallest details mattered. So yeah I heard those strings and horns first. I’d play it over and over and isolate a single instrument. So I know full Motown instrumentation even more than the lyrics at times. Ha
the music is clean and vibrant true song writing back in the day. today's songs and music is shit. radio stations won't play songs like this they don't want people happy anymore
I was eight years old when this song was released, even to this day, it still play's a huge part in my life. This song was written in heaven. Over six minutes of pure joy. Love it.
Chris Hall I was the same age and with sweet memories in my heart that aches in this days worlds tragedy I can pine to wish myself right back into the time these songs came out in the sixties.
I'm 75yrs old now but these tunes keep me young, Levi's wonderful voice along with the other 3 Tops bring back so many memories of the the best of the 60's musical decade.
Giving credit where credit is due, " mosogotam" is actually John Perrone who sadly passed on 4/5/20 of COVID-19...after making these wonderful re-mixes...and I'm here with ya at 72.🔊🎼🎶🎤🎷🎸🎺🎹
@@brucestaples4510 thanks Bruce for the information on the late John Perrone. I love ALL the work he’s done. I’m so sad to hear of his passing but very grateful to you for letting me know and praying his soul is at rest.
Thank you so much for these magnificent extended versions of Motown classics. Loved the Four Tops who besides enormous talent were the class of Motown who never were involved with scandal or controversy. 40+ Years together without the enormous egos, particularly that voice from heaven of Levi Stubbs!
One of the All Time Classics and groups. Even though they have sadly passed away, thankfully we will always have their wonderful music and it will bring back wonderful memories. Love your new version.
Every mix on this station is exceptional My Motown Music I wish people who weren't around in that time could see that world and experience it for even a short time
Bill D Please keep listening. We lost this great mixing talent back in April to covid . It’s the best tribute we could give him . Just learned this evening. So sad. Such a loss.
I used to hear this playing in my backyard at night and felt so sorry for whoever was playing it. It's a horrible feeling when you LOVE someone much more than they love you. That's the devastating reality of it.
Fantastic music!!! Just AWESOME Rythem, OUTSTANDING STRONG VOICES, and LYRICS that actually can be easily understood. Beautiful voices and Instrumentals in the Back-Ground.. And they looked SHARP, when performing in concert, in those matching business suits.... Even the audience , who were very young people to any other age, looked good in THEIR suits and business outfits... Pure CLASS... This whole event was AWESOME.... How I would LOVE to go back in time, and witness all of this...
The music was above it all back then..You could hear hope in the melodies,and lyrics. So glad I got to live in this small window of eternity to witness this beauty.
Music today rubbish this is music ❤️

Words just can't explain how this music heals my soul. I'm so blessed to have heard the 45 be released and at 65 I'm still loving it.

Yes, yes this song has meaning
Double that

just behind Marvin for me but I generally agree, Levi was up there.

Life in 1965 when i was 10 years old and this song came,life was great,being 65 in 2020,covid 19..not so great,but very very grateful to alive..
Privileged to see the 4 Tops at the Pavilion (now gone) in Myrtle Beach 1978. Back drop was the Atlantic Ocean. So magical.
Back when a "Man" WAS a "Man"!!! No wonder why I miss the good old days!
The Generation NOW IS STILL TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT IT IS..............

Your extended version really highlights the beauty of this most achingly beautiful masterpiece. Thank you from this old soulie.
Four great men.
No music today can touch four tops temptations excellent
I can't get enough of this group I get so emotional listening to them
Still rocking on at. 70. This is one of the finest jams ever to come from motown!
Giving credit where credit is due, " mosogotam" is actually John Perrone who sadly passed on 4/5/20 of COVID-19...after making these wonderful re-mixes...and I'm here with ya at 72.🔊🎼🎶🎤🎷🎸🎺🎹
@@brucestaples4510 thanks Bruce for the information on the late John Perrone. I love ALL the work he’s done. I’m so sad to hear of his passing but very grateful to you for letting me know and praying his soul is at rest.
Thank you so much for these magnificent extended versions of Motown classics. Loved the Four Tops who besides enormous talent were the class of Motown who never were involved with scandal or controversy. 40+ Years together without the enormous egos, particularly that voice from heaven of Levi Stubbs!
+Farinadog13 ...Farinadog...thanks so much! I appreciate it!
I so agree....❤️💕❤️
They were the baddest of the bad they we're all that
The 4 tops were hot: back in the 60s!
One of the All Time Classics and groups. Even though they have sadly passed away, thankfully we will always have their wonderful music and it will bring back wonderful memories. Love your new version.
Every mix on this station is exceptional My Motown Music I wish people who weren't around in that time could see that world and experience it for even a short time
Thank you, Steven!!

I used to hear this playing in my backyard at night and felt so sorry for whoever was playing it. It's a horrible feeling when you LOVE someone much more than they love you. That's the devastating reality of it.
That is what it was all about ....Awesomeness...💕❤️💕

The pride of Detroit Motown represent
This era of soul music stirs the spirit....damn I miss it!
I began loving the Four Tops when I was around 12 yrs back in 1962 with their "Without the One you Love".
Fantastic music!!! Just AWESOME Rythem, OUTSTANDING STRONG VOICES, and LYRICS that actually can be easily understood. Beautiful voices and Instrumentals in the Back-Ground.. And they looked SHARP, when performing in concert, in those matching business suits.... Even the audience , who were very young people to any other age, looked good in THEIR suits and business outfits... Pure CLASS... This whole event was AWESOME.... How I would LOVE to go back in time, and witness all of this...
My god,il still have goosbumps,the long version is incredible 😍 ❤️ is
This is when Motown was at its best. They never know what it was like, living in the city at this time!!
Rest in Peace Mr Fakir four tops jamming yes !!!

Joy of a lifetime singing with the Four Tops........ I will always love them
Absolutely wonderful! The Four Tops, so effortlessly cool and gifted. God bless them.
Nothing like it,,, my kind of music,, even at 73 years old,,, grew up with them
Ditto! At almost 72. 🎶😊
the best of the best ther will never be anyone with their solid unity - Levi was fabulous rip
The music was above it all back then..You could hear hope in the melodies,and lyrics. So glad I got to live in this small window of eternity to witness this beauty.
