THE FOUR TOPS "Reach Out, I'll Be There" on The Ed Sullivan Show

[MGB1952]

jajaja trousers from salvation army's store!!! me partoooooo!!!

[Cpt1n]

WTF?!?!?!?! why did they cut the performance short? PISSED!!!!!!!! probably had to do with racial shit (i'm white).  that was the shit though, just wished they let them finish it justly.

[pacifictwilite]

@Cpt1n Hi, no the performance wasn't cut short on the original Ed Sullivan show, for some reason this is only a partial video on You Tube. I suspect because it's really a thinly veiled way to advertise the video you can buy to hear more.

[2inderjit]

amazin music could not ask for better

[raveneye77]

Why do the guys in such old vids often have such short trousers???

[muzzmann]

Brothers had it goin on back then ...not all that foul mouth talentless crap comin outta their mouths like these days .....

[Happylistr]

1 minute is a little short

[babbelmann]

@Happylistr short as pants LOL (btw: love that song!)

[MrJM1878]

What up with the skinnypants? I see them around campus in the year 2012....haha. History really does repeat itself!!!

[99strange]

KOOL

[TheChuck624]

Who was in charge of their wardrobe, Pee Wee Herman?

[carlosdikerson]

Recently I heard a new version, women perform chorus, does someone heard that version ?



[BAREBACKER]

great song but those suits are terrible!! were trousers that short ever fashionable??

[employme09]

@BAREBACKER

Yes those suits were in fashion at the time of this taping, just like sagging is acceptable now. Wait 40 + years and think back.

[edgeaka]

NEVER - FIND BETTER THEN THIS,, THEY DONT KNOW,,,,,,

[ImTheFaceTutorials]

If Ed interupts another classic with "Goodnight" shit is gonna go down.

[spegangles]

fantastic stuff. not free in scotland though. try martha and the vandellas on RSG! brilliant!

[TheWitchiwynne]

I was a Junior in HS...that was good music

[aschoch0226]

I'll bet this scared a lot of white people.

[ironskull57]

love the band were they expecting a flood

[usukker]

lol

[hawkeyepears100]

[london19657]

what a crap video. All these hits and we don't hear the great song? I don't get it. NEXT!

[fromag888]

Es gibt nicht schöneres!!

[triffiks]

Tamla is fab, I played in a white 60s band and performed loads of Tamla like this one and always ended our shows with a 20 minute version of Arethas" Respect"

[Ypsi2009]

A song from a time when music was great!

[desert3347]

"Ed Sullivan Show" Channel 2- 8:00 PM CA. Time......

I Watched Them & Fell In Love With Them!

God How I Love This Song!

[tornmask]

my all time favorite SouL singing Group The 4ToPs! ;o)

[joekidd1959]

nothing like Motown

[mana1957]

great music

[jshultz79]

I need the rest of this performance

[cisltd]

I agree with u. Back in the 60/70's hits just rolled out each and every week. Far more artists with more releases than want is around now.

[dukunfassy]

I'm Asian and we love Motown....the music back then was far more better than what we have now



[PetePeterkin]

They actually raised the key on this...I can't believe it!! Were they trying to kill Levi??>?

[uzpeep]

@PetePeterkin they always raised the key. The songwriter said it made Levi sound more desparate

[Makingcc]

for awesome cover go to ---> v=DibBmAdOOZc

I loved the song, a month ago, when the whole song was played without Ed " the oil spil hair' Sullivan marketing garbage.

[iempsa]

[DARIUSSR612]

THIS MUSIC IS AS DELICIOUS AS A CARAMEL CHEESECAKE!!!

[lynjef7]

BEST MUSIC EVER

[ToniMattTony]

The so called bands now stink. The Four Tops rule!!!!!!!!!!!!

[mrammaji]

The song is surely a legend but the video is appalling. It shows you can sell anything to anyone ANYTIME..

[werobanks]

@mrammaji or so they try as that is all they are capable of. no imagination, creativity, genuity or humanity. they had to use the song as a lure...

[Desiree50]

they give us a taste of this good music.ed sullivan is dead now the estate want to use you tube to sell the dvds.

[njezan1]

They had such an excellent coreography.

[mightyafrowhitey]

@njezan1 eh... I LOVE this kind of music. but you can't really compare the choreography of groups such as The Four Tops and The Temptations with The Jackon 5, especially considering that they all played instruments. but they also had Michael as a front man so maybe the comparison isn't really fair.

[icecolddude96]

@mightyafrowhitey i do agree, Michael was no comparison to David Ruffi, Dennis Edwards, OR Ali-Ollie Woodson though.

[Deedy06]

This is gold! This is one of my favorites. R.I.P. Levi, Obie, and Lawrence of the Four Tops.

[Starshadow]

I remember watching this in glorious black and white on our old console Zenith...

I was nearly sixteen.

[PA22Flyer]

@Starshadow : I watched it on a Philco. I was ten. Great time. Wish we could all go back.

[acidinurmind]

such a great song, love it

[xLycrax]
