"7 Rooms Of Gloom" (Four Tops)

[barrywarman]

Motown crosses any divide just live the memories you LOVE

[davedavis53]

@barrywarman memories live on with music like this clasic

[supervc10]

I saw the current lineup in detroit in 2010, long live DUKE!!!!!!!

[tetiontkon]

That style of singing isn't shouting, by the way. It's vocal projection. Not everyone can handle a voice so intense, I see.

[tetiontkon]

The vocals and music are so passionate and amazing. The Four Tops had a powerful vocal connection. Every time I hear Levi's voice I just stop and listen. He had great command of his voice, even when he let go completely and sung with raw emotion. People feel it, not just hear it. This is only one of the reasons why I will always consider them a favorite.

[FanOfPopCulture]

I love the dramatic aspect of this song

[ChrissiMatusevics]

Who is left then ? I thought Levi was the first to pass

[TheChrissiewissie]

Has been my favourite 4 tops song since I first heard it in 67, sounds as fresh and wonderful today as it did then, the wonderful Levi lives on every time we hear his beautiful voice

[eddietheturdburglar]

Never heard this before,real surprise on how good this is,Quality.....

[cleanupboy73]

This song sounds simalar to Martha and the Vandellas "Ready for the Love" 1967 the drumb beats on HDH productions had this fast repititious sound like the Tempts "All I Need" The Supremes "The Happening" and a few others keeping up with the 'garage bands" a sound that started to become popular. I love this thanks for posting it!

[rchtmn2010]

Vintage Motown

You people living in this corrupt lonely cheating world open those eyes and enjoy what the man is saying,,,one day maybe Livi will tell ya again but this time he would be referring to the past says 99,, you will meet him soon hopefull cause time moves faster the a frieght train ?????

[luvs2cover]

[MrBazza86]

Brilliant 4 Tops - this track as good anything - means a real situation a lot of people . . . spot on

[MrBazza86]

Classic Tops with brilliant Levi . . .

[fsergi01]

I live with emptiness.

[mrdee11091]

how many places 7 rooms? thanks for this toe tapping get up and dance tune

[banksprogheim]

RIP greats Levi, Lawrence and Obie. Thanks again, Duke. May Brian, Eddie and Lamont write another number one hit before it's over!

[downinthemarrow]

This song is a tight ruler.

[banksprogheim]

54nomore, I couldn't agree w/ you more about the 60s being the greatest decade in music history. Motown took everyone by surprise, and catapulted to the top notch of American pop; the folk scene here was phenomenal, and the British invasion was a breath of fresh musical literacy, which surely, along with their astute classical instincts, influenced even our own Holland-Dozier-Holland!

I feel privileged to have come of age then, to have 'blossomed' along with the late, great counterculture!

[MJHaylett]

Incredible :D

[oceanbound222]

Levi sings and shouts at the same time. That is why I never liked his style

[mochaliscious1]

@oceanbound222 fuck u its emotion somethin u aint got down n his soul

[hthedog]

@oceanbound222 Feel it, dont listen to it!! ITS CALLED SOUL!!

[oceanbound222]

@hthedog ....I don't know what it is CALLED, but it SOUNDS like someone has a very upset stomach....

[MotownConnoisseur30]

@oceanbound222 Well then you're an idiot

[MikeMikey69]

Powerful Lead Singer, Amazing Harmony behind him.

[bsmack66]

The only thing I didn't like about Levi Stubbs, his vocals didn't flow with the music. It sounds a vocals to music mismatch. That's why I didn't like the Four Tops too much. The Temptations had better vocal to music harmony.

[jcjlf]

I like the bells in this song.

[99strange]

these klipsch ARE WORKING//99

[vte4chg]

Thank You Levi! R.I.P.

[TAB1986SYLAR]

i am only 23 years old but i love this song and this group!! Motown 4 life

[kariebeez]

One of my favorites by The Four Tops- .."all the windows out there are black, I'll wait right here till you come back, I'll keep wating, waiting until your face, YOUR face I see." Must have been like a dungeon - kind of heartbreaking'

[54nomore]

They are one of the reasons why I considered the 60's as the greatest decade in music history. R.I.P Levi Stubs-for you will truly be missed..

[free2bpoppie]

Levi Stubbs was grace and elegance, his like will probably never be seen again.

R.I. P.

All three of the Tops who have passed forward, are remembered with profound fondness, for having influenced me as a performer, and as well, a person.

Class, pure class!

[BareBackRidingHood]

beautiful sentiment Free2BPoppie

[psalmchanter]

Beautiful song. I love the bass line. I also love to play it on guitar.

[istgone]

Love it!
