  • People! Please keep your shitty politics away from this divine song. Respect it for what it is:- A fabulous song!

  • I remember the sock-hops at my H.S. in Montreal and learning to jive to the sounds of The Four Tops back in the mid-sixties. At 15 years of age, my thoughts were not on the injustices and wars that were going on in other parts of the globe; but what was going on in my little insulated world.

  • @sselegnaify1 You know I think that was very typical of a 15 yr old. My world was small and the most important thing was having fun, music, clothes, dances, boys and least of all school!!

  • This song rocks.... still!

  • i luv this old song!:D

  • AWESOME :) from Croatia

  • JUST MISSED!!! "Baby I Need Your Loving" just missed making the Billboard's Hot Top 10 chart; it peaked at No. 11 and spent a total of 12 weeks in the Hot Top 100 in 1964, this record was also The Four Top's debut onto the charts {How did this song NOT make it to No. 1 is beyond me!!!}

  • im 22 an i love these great oldie classics

  • How could 54 people dislike this?

  • i know right

  • One of the best Motown songs ever.  That backup singer who hits those high notes is incredible. Love the Four Tops. Always have, always will.

  • As a Junior in high school in this era, all I can say is " lucky". At a High school friday night assembly, the students would always dance when Motown was played & it felt good to actually touch each other ( try dancing Beatles Sgt Peppers ) This song use to remind me of my best girl..... sitting next to me in my old Pick Up on the way to school. Today when I listen to this song... I think of all my 3 grown daughters and my wife. ( I need their lovin ) Good times..

  • people were so good back then

  • The Four Tops are coming to Albuquerque in February!

  • Not bad!!!!!

  • i need his loving :(

  • Judging by the audience looks and styles, this was a clip from a British pop show-- I'd ahve thought "Top of the Pops" ?

  • @Jigaboo123456 It could be that it is from "Top of the Pops". but to me it could just as easily be "The Ed Sullivan Show" I like the girls in the cat eye glasses at 2:00 and 2:01

  • boyz II men.

  • beautiful and sad at the same time, when I look at the crowd its just depressing what we've become. I speak in the present tense because shit hasn't rally changed. None the less this is a beautiful for song for everyone to enjoy. =]

  • The Four Tops and this song is an example in class.

  • @HollisKing You are right...Top shelf class....The hours of work that went into this level of professional class

  • One of the top songs of this group!! (no pun intended)------Danny Sordello

  • I need you and I want you, baby

    I love you and I want you, baby...♫♪

  • Pure Class!.. and music that just gave you goosebumps! It's great that those of us who grew up during this era, can come here to You Tube and enjoy all over again.

  • 1965: baby I need you loving

    2011: I'm in love wit stripper

    see the difference? classic wins hand down!

  • @magtuse13

    You are so right! Music then was about the heart and soul, music nowadays hasn't got anything that can compare with this legendary music!

  • @magtuse13 LMAOOOOOOOOOO too funny but so sad and true!!  Thanks for my laugh of the day...........

  • @zahkuz61 haha your welcome

  • @magtuse13 What's wrong with strippers you racist

  • @xsf07xbu the difference is the era and how women was treated differently than today. Also, that not racist. Please learn your shit before you try me.

  • @xsf07xbu If you don't see what's wrong with strippers! You're the racist!

  • @xsf07xbu dont be a fascist!!

  • i love this era of music because this is when women weren't being disrespected in songs and this is when we had talented artists.

  • @SuperJazzymusic It was also the era of extreme racism, an era where we made countless fatherless children in Vietnam and exubrant drug use, also an era where we lost a president. But you're right... this one of the great things to come from that era.

  • @OHYESIDIDFOO thanks for agreeing. :)

  • Truly magnificient! The Four Tops Forever!!!!!!

  • Dear Wonderful Music, where have you gone? Save us from the trash of today!!

  • How wonderful to see some real respect - an audience (of all races and creeds) just listening intently to great performers, who are putting EVERYTHING into the song for that audience. To me, this is what real entertainment should mean. Sadly, music today has utterly lost its soul, and money, sex and sleaze are the only gods to be worshipped. I long for these great, old days, but they can never return, sadly. Oh well ... many thanks for posting, you made an old man young again for a few minutes!

  • @Mrfairchap Well at least we haves these videos!

  • Do you see the dislike bar? Me either.

    Magical song.

  • When I type 'Baby' into the search engine this song should, without a doubt, be above Justin Beiber. Just sayin'.

  • @baou30 ya i know man......

  • haha they sang this song on Jackson 5 movie and my dumb butt that it was a song the jackson5 made up smh...

  • Thank you Internet!

  • so glad noone has remade this into a single...yet

  • Aqui no Brasil sucesso nos bailes dos anos 70 aos dias de hoje na voz de Johnny Rivers...musica boa vira hino!!!

  • MOTOWN... BABY ....MOTOWN,,,,ENOUGH SAID....IT DONT GET BETTER,,,HOWEVER THERE S A FELLA ACROSS THE RIVER FROM DETROIT IN WINDSOR ONTARIO,,,,,,,,,ANDY PROBYN...MOTOWN HAS A INFLUNCE AND SOUL AND THIS MAN IS LISTENING FOR SURE...YEAH ANDY YEAH DETRIOT ...

  • WHAT A GREAT MOTOWN!!

  • i adore this song!

  • Levi Stubbs, the finest tenor lead in history.

  • @TDSouledOut1 He was a baritone, with songs written in tenor just to push him to the top of his range! Id say he was the finest LEAD in history... period!

  • @TDSouledOut1 He was a baritone, but the songs were written in tenor to push him to the top of his vocal range, and this is the result, just an amazing singer..

  • Simply music at its best.

  • I need love tex four tops ; ) from Croatia

  • @NickLarocc lol ur a dork but i completely agree!!!!!!!

  • levi stubbs - rest in peace man - this guy's voice did the job every time! What a talent and greatest smile in Motown!

  • While in In high school (1969 ) on Friday mornings 6:30 AM, before I'd leave the house, I'd steal a couple of cigs from my Mom's purse, then jump in my old 59 ford PU, go get my girl friend and we would head to the donut shop to meet everyone before school started. While on the way, I was king of the world listening to....." Baby I need your loving" Good times.

  • @Roscoe1969100 They actually had High School in 1969? Wow!

  • @Roscoe1969100 you watch too much movies dude thats titanic movie the king of the world lol....

  • @Roscoe1969100 hahahaha. Greetings.

  • @Roscoe1969100 Talk about the good times... danm...

  • @Roscoe1969100

    Thats how i wanted my life to be damn it.

  • @Roscoe1969100 I envy you so much... you were so lucky to have lived in those times :<

  • @Roscoe1969100 im 32 but i love this kind of music. what you just said makes me wish i was in your day. Wish today was like then.

  • @Roscoe1969100 Fantastic memory. Thanks for sharing. :)

  • Saw them on stage at The Regal Cinema ,Cambridge in the late 60s, a few hours before they appeared outside for photo shoots.Passing by, I cheekily went up and asked for their autographs, they all couldn't have been nicer, real gentlemen and obliged willingly !Levi had one of the greatest voices of all time,a timeless wonderful song still as fresh as ever .

  • @flammasherman You are SO right man. This still sounds as fresh as the day it was made, how can that be? Awesome stuff!

  • @Mrfairchap Cheers my friend, ' quality ' always lasts !.

  • wtf!? forget all that auto tune, i need a damn time machine

  • Truly one of the all time greats as a lead singer The legendary "Levi Stubbs". The Four Tops were always my favorite groups back in the day. Believe nobody wanted to follow them including the mighty Temptations. They were intact for I believe 44 years until Lawrence Payton died, that is incredible in itself. Such loyalty, Levi could have gone solo back in 1972 when Barry offered him the role Billy D Williams played in Lady sing the Blues. Refreshingly he put the group over himself.f

  • I am a black man trapped in a white body...i love Motown but i still cant get laid

  • SOME SAY ITS A SIGN OF WEAKNESS FOR A MAN TO BEG...THEN WEAK ID RATHER BE

  • Guys , they had style ..!

  • love me some motown an i dnt givea shytttt it jus sounds soo good

  • I can't imagine how the world would be if they kept making music like this today!! 

  • if you have ytv channel watch the next star and the boys are singing this song they are amzinggggg!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!! just like the four tops CHOWWWWWW see ya!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • they dont make great music like this anymore. I also love the choreography and the moves. Barry Gordy hit gold when he started Motown. Love It!

  • Esta va para ti, Vero. My love.

  • Crystal Lake, Winston-Salem, NC. Donald Jackson Williams;-) 1965.

  • their heads are odly shaped .-. they can sing though.

  • @trithorns  They didnt have as good a technology then. Its likely the cameras.

  • @baxtermindymollymagg

    .-. hmmmm

  • I love this song. Reminds me of a bronx tale

  • Too bad blacks lost their class and now produce ghetto trash music

  • @calihartley2010

    Blatant racist, nice.

  • @dannywodes Escuse me. It is not racist to speak the truth. Just open your eyes and you will see that i am right. Stop acting like a politically correct loon and think like a man instead of a silly little girl.

  • @calihartley2010 look up these black people and find out that they don't make "Ghetto Trash" all 90's + Corinne Bailey Rae Poets Of Rhythm The Globetroddas Macy Gray Lauren Hill Del Tha Funkee Homosapien Ripperton Common Sense KRS-One artist like 2pac, Gangstarr, Mos Def and Nas speak truths about oppression and the hardships of poverty. O and majority white people listen to the popular music you call trash, fueling the regression of music. Any comment stereotyping a race is racist IMO.
  • @dannywodes Oh really. Well they are still trash and that does not change. I am not even going to look up the list you sent me, since I know they will be just as bad. If you think that nas and tupac singing about their ghetto lives is something great, then you are just as stupid as your role models are. If white people listen to such thrash, then they really have degraded themselves to your ghetto standards.

  • @calihartley2010

    Anyway, this is a sweet song and influenced many of my favorite artists regardless of you or anyone else's preferences. I'm walking through the darkness carrying MY torch. If you don't want to share the light then you can live life without seeing the truth. It's not thrash or trash. It's soul, its hip hop, its funk, its jazz, and its RnB.

  • @dannywodes I have nothing against this song. Infact i wish people would sing like this again. Hip hop and rap are trash and that is where they deserve to stay.

  • @calihartley2010 rap hip hop has been around 30 yrs how is it trash? Just cuz you don't like it don't make it trash. What are you GOD of music? Rock country pop isnt like the oldies but I don't hear you calling that trash. Are you a racist who thinks blacks should conform to whites?

  • @ljcollins78 Man you are a typical ghetto black or a stupid white person who loves pulling the race card. I do not care how long rap has been around for. That still does not make it classy. Just like racisim is not classy even though it has been around for many years. I do not think I am a God of music, but as someone who uses commonsense and can judge which is good or bad music. I hate heavy metal and that is white music. So what do you have to say now, mr. race card puller.

  • @calihartley2010 "typical ghetto black" that's pushing the envelope, my friend.

  • @PoeticJustice05 Well i call it like it is. If you are offended, then stop being ghetto and act classy.

  • @calihartley2010 No, you call it like you see it, which is a very prejudiced way of seeing it. I am being classy, in case you haven't noticed, I'm not calling you any names, and being very civilised about this.

  • @calihartley2010 you're the one attacking blacks and rap music so of course I'm going to ask if you are racist cuz of the way you came off. If you had just said I don't like rap music I wouldn't have said anything. But you said blacks don't have class and rap is trash. Also you didn't call heavy metal trash you just said you don't like it. If you have common sense look at what you write and think about it cuz I'm not the only one who has replied to you. Ignorance is not classy

  • @ljcollins78 Well I will say this. Heavy metal is trashy too. I thought you would have enough sense to know that if i do not like it, means it is trash. Happy? Now ignorance is bliss just to let you know the correct way of saying that. I never said blacks are trashy. ofcourse the blacks of today are trashy and so are some whites that follow the ghetto culture. The blacks from 50 years ago had more class than the blacks of today. Now read and stop assuming and pulling the race card.

  • @calihartley2010 I'm done going back and forth with you cuz its obvious you can't see your ignorance and calling people trashy makes you trashy. I pray for you

  • @ljcollins78 Well if you pray please pray to Jesus and not to your Kwanza God or Black Jesus. If you really are not bothered by what I say, then why hound me on another page too? You seem to be a hypocrite who cannot admit defeat in a honest way.

  • @lvray702NV lol that should have been "motown getting everyone laid since the 50s" one of the best song n best groups ever!!!!

  • @lvray702NV LMAO!!!... DUDE THAT'S HILARIOUS. Motown not only getting white since the 50's but everybody world-wide. Prolly many of us were made to this song lol.

  • @lvray702NV & white people providing all the necessities of life to allow black people to become successful since way before the 50's. And for the record, NO WHITE BAND or SINGERS could ever copy or duplicate the awesome Motown sound of the Four Tops !!!!!!
