@45rpmSINGLES i disagree, if the 3 newer gentelmen are in the Four Tops and Duke has hired them to carry on the legacy that he, Levi, Larry and Obie started then these men have earned the right to be members of The Four Tops, just like Otis with The Temptations, each new member brings a new element to the groups they are in, and have earned the respect of being a member of one of the greatest groups of all time, these guys are The Four Tops
@MotownMaster " these guys are The Four Tops - yeah right ! The current line up doesnt bring anything to The Four Tops name or legacy . They exist to sing the songs of the original band so theyre just a tribute band however much you dress it up. Following your theory Ringo Starr could reform The Beatles with 3 hired musicians and legitimately call themselves The Beatles. I dont think so !
Theo is too clean on vocals. What I mean is he is magnificent but what made Levi so magical was the singing out of the range, emotional strain conveyed by the obvious strained vocals and the imperfections that made him human. The imperfections of Levi's voice are what made him so damned perfect. Theo can sing like a bell but the vocals are so clean and clear that it seems to lose something in the process.
don't forget that theo was with the temps before he joined the tops. he's all over the "phoenix rising" CD. my favorite song on that album is "this is my promise" you hear that tempts sound because he once was a mighty temptation.
Now that is real music!I've always enjoyed this classic song by"The Four Tops"but watching this live stage performance of it sends tingles right through me.I could replay this clip aaaaall day long!Great feature Baabygirl1!Thanks for sharing!

On a song like this you don't really need to sound like Levi. I thought Theo did a superb job that would make Levi proud!
