Saw them with The Temptations at the mountain winery. I think it was in September 2023. They were tired and old, but they were still great and there was only one original I think from both maybe two from the Temptations that that was the best concert I’ve ever been to.
Hello 👋, listening this morning 1April 2024😮 l'm 75,what else can l say?just have to agree with all the comments!!☺️best music when we were young Motown,RIP those not with us anymore and Thank You for being the best EVER 😢🙏🙏 Greetings from Cape Town, South Africa 💃💃💃❤❤❤
Real instruments/musicians…….no auto tune…4 men who can actually sing showing their talent. I am in my sixties….i miss the music of the 60s, 70s and early 80s. After that…it went to the dogs.
Levi Stubbs----my favorite singer of all time. He belongs in the same conversation as Marvin Gaye, Otis Redding, Wilson Pickett----he is among the best of the best that R&B ever blessed us with. A giant.
I'm 72 and I'm still listening to this wonderful music. I love the Four Tops and The Temptations..... you can't but be uplifted listening to their music....
Mr Levi Stubbs - the definition of stage presence. A masterclass in audience control and how to work the crowd with your eyes. A real privilege to watch - RIP Sir 💜
Soul/Motown Music was Best! It was thd saddest day when it all stopped these great recording artist..Four Tops was my favourite group right ftom my teens.Levi had an anazing soul voice .I was lucky to have seen them at Gt Yarmouth Norfolk, many moons ago..they didnt disappoint.Godblesscthem all.💖💖💖🙏
@@margehorstman7705 Nice song i always get emotional whenever i hear this song sorry for leaving this here i came across your comment on youtube channel and i would like to hear more better if you dont mind i guess you must be an honest person because i always have found your comments to be a kind and respectful person. If that's okay with you, I'd love to be your friend, but if that sounds weird or awkward in any way, please don't embarrass me by replying. I hope you are having a wonderful day with your family. God bless you all
I'm 75 yrs old now and grew up with these guys tunes, such a professional bunch of singers the Tops were, Levi's voice and David Ruffins were the sound of Motown
I am 72 and I believe we had the best of the music in our generation. These guys are great. I'm grew up in Detroit and Motown was everything. That was a great time to grow up.
@@marytouchette5055 Mary definitely. I live in Scotland but Motown is my favourite music. I am 68 this year. I don't feel any older. Only when I look in the mirror I see my precious Mam looking back at me. X 💗🕊💗
I thought this kind of music would last forever. What a powerful voice Levi Stubbs had! Glad I grew up in the 60's and 70's. Miss those days as far as great music goes!
Levi Stubbs was an amazing talent. Vastly underrated as a singer. Never got the recognition he deserved, which reminds me: Kudos to him for declining opportunities to go solo, out of deference to his fellow Tops. May the great man rest in eternal peace. Entertain God with that voice!
I co wrote this song, and never got to see this wonderful live performance til today. R.I.P. to all Four Beautiful Tops. An honor to have known you, and thanx for your enormous humanity and talents.
Abdul Fakir, last of original Four tops, he sang the or died today, Monday at home in Detroit Michigan! God rest his soul!! One of my fave groups then and in 2024
76 years old here in the Philippines. Such Fond memories of listening to the great Motown music on my AM transistor sixty years ago when I was a teenybopper back in Minnesnowta. Such great groups, like the Four Tops. So great that they stayed loyal to their city, Detroit.
Booked tickets for four tops in uk , last surviving member fakir was to attend , the only reason I purchased tickets, but unfortunately he pulled at the last minute due to covid
That's my cousin Eddie "Chank" Willis whose guitar riff start this song. He was an original member of The Motown Session Band "The Funk Brothers" who churned out hit after hit for that Record Company. His distinct guitar can be heard on "Signed, Sealed Delivered", "I Was Made To Love Her" and many many more. He was self taught. His guitar style was very percussive. His chords usually coincided with the snare drum, that's how he got the nickname "Chank". So glad to have spent some quality time with him before he passed away August 20, 2018.....He's truly missed!
I was born during this era of 4 tops, but I get sad too this music was wonderful and easy listening but still touches your heart and it's very enjoyable. Levi love this guy and I pray he, Lawrence and Obie are resting in peace.
Believe it or not this wasn't in their prime. Which was like 1965 through the 1970s. This song, their Grammy winning performance, was in 1982. I don't when this video performance was. But, just think of it, 15 years after "Bernadette", "The Same Old Sng", "I Can't Help Myself ", "Reach Out I'll Be There ", "Baby I'll Need Your Loving ", and so many more. And they were friends who had been together from High School. Instead of. What normally happens, where the best ones leave and go off on there own. (Such as Diana Ross, who actually wasn't the best. She was just the one that Berry Gordy liked and ended up having an affair with. As well as a couple of children. According to The other people at Motown, Flo Ballard had the greatest voice. Plus, she was the leader and founder of the group. Until Gordy got interested in Diana. And Flo also chose the name "Supremes". Which Diana didn't like.) Unfortunately Levi was the 1st to pass away. From cancer of course. There is a Video, on TH-cam, of a great performance of Aretha Franklin and the 4 Tops with Levi (in a wheelchair) shortly prior to his passing.
Saw The Four Tops at a soul weekender at a holiday camp here in England in the 1980's. We couldn't quite believe that we were in the company of these legends. Absolutely blew the place away, and did about an hour more than scheduled. The audience just kept screaming out for more. Then Levi did a solo version of Gloria Estefan's Cuts Both Ways. It will stay with me forever, and can still make the hairs on the back of my neck rise. Lovely, devoted friends who made such sweet music. Bless them all.
Levi’s version of ‘cuts both ways’ is magnificent.Bognor 1991 met them leaving I think they were staying at the Grand Eastbourne. No one in music has ever meant more to me than Levi
To the last founding member of the Four Tops Abdul "Duke" Fakir who sadly passed away on 22nd July 2024. Thank you for giving me memories to treasure through your wonderful contribution to music. God has called you home so you, Levi, Obie and Lawrence can join once more to play that great concert in the Heavens. Rest In Peace...Rise In Grace!
Decades on - 4 tops , just magical - Levi ‘s voice as rare as Elvis, born with a God given gift that he shared with us all, their sound will live forever, forever.
I’m 73 and I’ve been listening to these guys forever. So talented. My god. Watch their live performance in Paris if you want to see four phenomenal performers. This was music
The last member of the Original Four Tops Abdul "Duke Fakir passess today 7/23/202 rip fellows . Thanks for all the great music and moves throughout my 6 decades
I especially like this song because Levi sings the entire song more than harmonizing. I particularly love his voice when he belts it out. Wish young people would learn to sing again.
This is tough to watch. I am 79 and the love of my life and I are no longer able to dance to beautiful music like this. It makes me realize how little time we have left. But I am treasuring the memories while I can. Thanks for posting this performance.
For some reason ... listening to this song always fills me up a little.. Sad but sweet. Levi certainly knew how to sing a ballad! Miss you Levi. Glad I got to shake his hand when he was performing in my home town on one of the 4 Tops UK Tours. 🌹
June 6th: Happy birthday R&B-Soul Singer Levi Stubbs (1936-2008)-The Four Tops; Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, Vocal Group Hall of Fame, Grammy Hall of Fame, Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award, star: Hollywood Walk of Fame. Thank you for sharing your gift, that unmistakable voice. RIP...Thank you, Lottoman17 for this upload....Classic....NGO... Never Gets Old. Blessings. #keeprockin
I'm 40yrs old and I'm loving this performance, my parents played alot of 4 tops especially my mom. Even though I was born this very year they are performing in this video. I love Levi all the videos I've seen he has the best voice. His rhythm, voice and that beautiful aurora he exudes from his inner man I just love. I'm moved over to tears because you could see and feel there love for each other and the performing. It's different then some of the other groups. The song is such a nice melody and a REAL live performance unlike today. Basically 4 tops was the perfect name these guys were the cream of the crop at Motown and as far as groups in there day.
Hi, I'm a white girl from Africa and I was brought up on Motown music by my beautiful late Latvian Mother so that proves that Motown rules all over the world, my daughters love it too. And Victor Pego, my boyfriend many years ago, thank you for reinstalling this amazing music into my life xx
@@vinetater6368 Yes of course you can ask...my Mom was born in Riga, Latvia. My Father was born in Roscommon, Ireland. My parents met in Rhodesia, Africa and sister's and I were born there. So it's kinda like the League of Nations in my family.... and I now live in Somerset, UK.
Penelope Cronly-Dillon ! Ok cool 😎 Multiethnic that is interesting . I am from Dubai . Have you been to the UAE? How is this whole lockdown in your hometown .
I'm so in love with this man! Mr Levi Stubbs.💖 this has got to be the best song, ever. His voice never falters. Great harmonies, and fantastic musicians. RIP Mr Stubbs. Xxxx
Music like this will never get old. True talent, no mic filters or anything else needed, just pure God given talent and good music from one of the best groups ever recorded!
RIP. 😢 The last of the original Four Tops, Duke Fakir, passed away today. I remember like yesterday when Baby, I Need Your Loving, Can't Help Myself, Same Old Song, and all of those other great songs first hit the charts in the mid 60's. Great singers, songwriters, studio musicians, arrangers, producers. Motown up north, Stax/Volt down south, NY, LA, New Orleans, Philly, the great American song book of the mid 20th century.
He put his loyalty to the 4 Tops before breaking loose and saying Levi Stubbs and The 4 tops.Unlike Diana Ross and The Supremes or Smokey Robinson and The Miracles.
OH MY GOD!!! i i never get tired of the Four Tops, I wish they were in concert now. I would be on the front row for a great performance. All I want to do is dance when I hear them. Those were the best days of my life. If i had only known what I know now. You can tell what a good time they are having. All of their songs will never be forgotten! Check out all of their performances. f
Nice song i always get emotional whenever i hear this song sorry for leaving this here i came across your comment on youtube channel and i would like to hear more better if you dont mind i guess you must be an honest person because i always have found your comments to be a kind and respectful person.

God bless you all
+Ray G I'm 62, and the "music" I hear today is complete and utter RUBBISH!! There is nothing in this world like Motown music. I especially love The Temptations and the Four Tops. When Levi Stubbs died in 2008, my heart broke.
How could 875 people put thumbs down on this video? These guys knocked it out of the park every time they performed! Levi Stubbs was one of the greatest pop singers ever.
I'm still listening in 2024! Boy I miss good music.
So do I, these oldies are the absolute best. ❤
Oh so do I!
april 2024 yes. still sounding great. never get tired of this.
Saw them with The Temptations at the mountain winery. I think it was in September 2023. They were tired and old, but they were still great and there was only one original I think from both maybe two from the Temptations that that was the best concert I’ve ever been to.
I’m still here 2024. I love this music. It’s what I grew up on.

Loved this song and still do. Levi Stubbs best voice around….. why cant we have our music back again!
RIP. 😢 The last of the original Four Tops, Duke Fakir, passed away today. I remember like yesterday when Baby, I Need Your Loving, Can't Help Myself, Same Old Song, and all of those other great songs first hit the charts in the mid 60's.
Great singers, songwriters, studio musicians, arrangers, producers. Motown up north, Stax/Volt down south, NY, LA, New Orleans, Philly, the great American song book of the mid 20th century.
Levi Stubbs, his voice will live on for ever.
at least for me it will-i have 53 years listening to the 4 tops
The Four Tops....FOREVER❤❤❤❤❤
He had a pleading in his voice that was his & his alone.!
He put his loyalty to the 4 Tops before breaking loose and saying Levi Stubbs and The 4 tops.Unlike Diana Ross and The Supremes or Smokey Robinson and The Miracles.
Total package right here.
Look at the joy in Levi's eyes 💙💙
The Melodica player was priceless! He was consistent whether in studio or live shows, as did the brass section. 🎹 🎺 🎷
Levi stubbs was one of the greatest soul singers of his time and will always be there great songs RIP.
Totally agreed!

Now that's what I call real music....Motown was brilliant 👏👏
OH MY GOD!!! i i never get tired of the Four Tops, I wish they were in concert now. I would be on the front row for a great performance. All I want to do is dance when I hear them. Those were the best days of my life. If i had only known what I know now. You can tell what a good time they are having. All of their songs will never be forgotten! Check out all of their performances.

Nice song i always get emotional whenever i hear this song sorry for leaving this here i came across your comment on youtube channel and i would like to hear more better if you dont mind i guess you must be an honest person because i always have found your comments to be a kind and respectful person. If that's okay with you, I'd love to be your friend, but if that sounds weird or awkward in any way, please don't embarrass me by replying. I hope you are having a wonderful day with your family. God bless you all
I'm 66 yrs old and I still get goose bumps listening to Motown greats...the sound of a generation that can never be matched...
+Ray G I'm 64 and that was the greatest time for music . Motown put the music world out to everyone.
+Ray G I'm 20 - and I feel you on that one . Same thing - This is True Music
+Ray G I'm 62, and the "music" I hear today is complete and utter RUBBISH!! There is nothing in this world like Motown music. I especially love The Temptations and the Four Tops. When Levi Stubbs died in 2008, my heart broke.
+Ray G snap
you're right ,that's music and rythm ...
If Im still on Gods green earth in 2029 I will still listen to these great oldies. Our era had the best music! Love all the oldies!❤
They don’t make groups like this no more RIP brothers your music will always live in our hearts forever
Here I am at 74 years and still listening to Levi sing. Reminds me of my teen years. Thanks Levi
How could 875 people put thumbs down on this video? These guys knocked it out of the park every time they performed! Levi Stubbs was one of the greatest pop singers ever.
cause they dont get it. even laugh at it. its my comfort
They don't no shit about great singers and real music.
It was 875 deaf persons annual party.
Oh yeah ….. still loving this one🎉..
❤ in 2024 🎶👏😊
Levi must be one of the best singers of all time - such an amazing voice.
+Mike Scott A baritone who sang like a tenor. Berry Gordy used to say that about him. And he always gave it his all
Yes indeed. When you simply heard his voice in song, we knew immediately who it was! His sound to this Day has Never been duplicated! :-)
I agree, unique
He'll be up there with Elvis Presley
Mike Scott he was the cousin of another great singer Jackie Wilson
Levi Stubbs.....a voice that was sent from heaven
He had booming baritone vocals. Smooth as butter.
Amazing
You know a s was away a
Smooth as silk every time.
Xx xx xx xx xx x x xx xx xx xx xx, xx, x xxx , dody xx
No one like Levi!!!!!!!!!! Simply outstanding.
Back when music had meaning and the performers had class
don't forget, the performers had to actually sing
I could not agree more with comment.
This true they are the best.
You know what you are so right about that. It is a shame that is true but it is. Even in 2019 it is still the best
Say it again!! No theatrics just talent.
Levi Stubbs and the 4 Tops were at the top always and I will never forget that voice and the way they harmonized as a group.
I had the privilege of seeing the Four Tops in person. They have such respect for their audience. Bravo!
When you can deliver it this good live you are the best
Exactly!!!!
will never be another "Four Tops"..never..ever...
MOTOWN. #1

There will never be another era of great music that we experienced.....
The one and only Four Tops all back together singing away in Heaven
Man! That Man can sing...touches my soul sings with so much feeling! Love to see the rhythm in their dance moves!!
The medley between the four tops and the temptations, absolutely fantastic, and the respect between all of them, absolutely out the top drawer
One of the best groups of all time! Rest in peace Levi!
