The Four Tops BABY I NEED YOUR LOVING - Shivaree -

[gwen1987]

At age 25, I've been in love with this song for as long as I can remember. I've seen this clip numerous times and I *STILL* can't get the rhythm of the girls dancing in the background!

[pwkid]

That mustache is awesome.

[CerebralMadness]

Levi was fine and grew to be a nice looking old man too

[DetroitLives313]

Magnificient! After all these years......still the absolute best!

[helcivic]

Best Forever !

[ps195402]

what a song,one of the best by the four tops,but of all of there songs which one is not great,THANKS MOTOWN.JONB1.

[debragarza20]

what a time i was just starting high school in alice texas from lupe loop 62

[bighoonk]

when other people try to cover this song, it's just plain disgusting! Levi, you are the BEST!

[bighoonk]

A PERFECT song, PERIOD!!!!! Classic!

[sherber75]

So smooth. Nothing today can touch this kind of music. Keep your Lady Gaga and her style. Give me the Four Tops. :)

[calihartley2010]

@sherber75 me too. snoop dog lady gaga JZ and other rap artists can go to HELL. Give me this music anyday and I am in my 20's

[Sybenett]

@calihartley2010 Thank you, with there non singing asses.

[calihartley2010]

@Sybenett Lol I do not know what you mean after Thank you. Please explain. I hope it is good.

[sticknoia]

This song or My Girl is my favorite song of the 60s. Each is my favorite while i'm listening to it.Stubbs and company make modern "music" so so pale by comparison.

[Jander4031]

driving down the road in '57 chevy convertible with this playing on WBAG AM radio..... The 4 Tops were sooo talented!!! One song after another. RIP Levi

[waynebrasler]

After working for years to get somewhere the Tops came to Motown and met instant success with this, their first hit record. From there on it was hit after hit after hit after hit after hit. Levi Stubbs was a brilliant singer, a real artist who created miniature plays out of the song lyrics.

[MrLevistubbs]

2 years today 9-17-10 since levi's been gone. it's still like a nightmare i can't wake up from.

[tumsabai1]

Sound so nice. Play it twice!!!

[MegaBob77777]

Now this is music. This is singing. This is REAL talent. the crap today, Ugghhhh! No one can hold a candle to these guys. Nothin like a little Motown to brighten up the day.

[ShadowHawk4219]

@MegaBob77777 I could not agree with you more.Oh man,these were the times of truly great music.These guys and the Tempts, along with all the other Motown acts, learned and mastered their craft, not just getting in front of a mic hollering rubbish like you hear today.Motown Forever.

[jleelacy11]

im 25 but it feels like i shoulda been a tennager then i listen to no new music at all just my grandparents music

[hollatmejm]

Wow, I finally understand why the parents always say I listen to stupid meaningless music.....think this might be the best song ever n it also makes me wonder about rap

and how can any human with hearing dislike this

[philcurt52]

walkin down leathers lane halewood aged 14

this was playing

i was hooked

55 now still love it

pure

[MSMAGICMAMI]

This song brings back beautiful memories. I am 57 and this is the music I grew up with. GOD bless everyone and especially those who can remember and appreciate such great music.

[waytoohappy1]

my oh my oh my

[olpap53]

yeaaaaa, back in tha day ..... :)

[NCWPromoter]

AWSOME! There Is Not ANYTHING Like This Out There TODAY! MOTOWN,ELVIS,MICHEAL,T

[RedSox4eva1000]

SOOOOOOOO glad I was able to see ALL of them at least a dozen times!! Last one was at the HacthShell in Boston (94& 97) R.I.P. Levi & Laurence!! You are one class act !!!

[phonedial9]

Levi was the coolest of all them 60's cats

[steveinchico]

This has always been my favorite song......i was really sorry to hear of Levi passing

[MistressOfMirth]

I'm in love again...They are the best.

[54crockett]

@MistressOfMirth talk about taking me back to my youth its brill.

[kickassfan]

lucky audience:living the 60s,close to Levi Stubbs,being on shivaree....

[kickassfan]

Respect from my Heart for these guys.

[Soupy2323]

Elvis, Michael Jackson.....They all took the Unique and original 'moves' from JACKIE WILSON... KARIEBEEZ. :) He was the best!

( also) I agree...

MOTOWN was the best thing to happen to music- in my generation!

[kickassfan]

"I need you and I want you baby"

"I need you and I love you baby"

Eat this Eminem,Rappers,Punksters,Dirty Xtina all vulgarities.

[nutellar88]

ohh wow! i LOVE MOTOWN!

i always habe to think of the J5 when i her this song.

[grapesfirst90]

RIP Levi Stubbs, Renaldo "Obie" Benson, and Lawrence Peyton

[hepette]

[susyr95]

[kariebeez]

When I was your age I looved the Temps too. They were my favorite group although I now recognize that Levi had the best voice of all of them. But hey, I still like "I Wish It Would Rain, one of my favorites by the Temps. Keep listening to smooth music, young one!

[northernsummergirl]

[tuzwol]

no disrespect to the Bealtes, but the 4 Tops were the baddest foursome that ever walked this earth

[BIGPLAYEA]

[bearnurse1]

Shivaree was a great great show. Too bad it only lasted I think 2-3 years.

[ogbeyono1]

im 34 years and i heard this song wen i was 7 and ever since then its been my favoryte for decades.this son will go whith me wen i die

[Wila38]

I could watch this video with the sound down just to look at Levi.

[kariebeez]

Ain't it the truth? LOL Wow - he was some handsome man. He and Jackie Wilson were cousins and he handsome too. He really set the women off when he performed.

[tuzwol]

the ultimate version right here

[nickhiesa]

[steveinchico]

This has always been my favorite song.........and i'm almost 60............Levi will always be remembered by me for THIS song..............The 4 Tops were absolutely GREAT!

[jnettwil]

R.I.P Mr Levi Stubbs one of the greatest voices of motown!

[MistressOfMirth]

Highlights of my youth in Phila was the Four Tops, Martha and the Vandellas, the Temptations, Smokey Robinson. To those we have lost, thank you for the music and the joy.

[tkd1342]

RIP Levi the 4 tops are one of the greatest r and b groups all time.

[kickassfan]

This is a real melody not like todays horrible "music"

[sphmusak]

The Motown sound was revolutionary...it was hip, it was real, it moved people to dance with each other regardless of color. It gave us many talented people and memories to last a lifetime. Everyone has their own favorite Motown song..... hey, whats yours?

[theglitterband]

Never a truer word written. As far as I am concerned it was musc from God Almighty Himself.. Rest in peace Levi,

[pompeygill]

RIP Levi Stubbs - somehow music don't seem the same anymore.

[SuperstarX]

The Four Tops were truly one of the greatest Motown Acts.

So glad, that I've seen them live in a great concert in 1989 in their orginal line-up: Abdul Fakir + Levi Stubbs + Renaldo Benson († 2005) + Lawrence Payton († 1997).

RIP Levi Stubbs

[hydeparkmac]

R.I.P. MR. STUBBS

[Jay2k31313]

R.I.P. MR. STUBBS

[rmbb10]

I like this song; The 4 Tops are legens in da game. R.I.P. Mr. Stubbs; you will be greatly missed.

[jahmarlboss]

love this song!

[soulman1950]

Still the TOPS,

[missmaryherself]

My sister and I wore out two copies of their first album, playing it and dancing in our basement. I fell in love with Levi Stubbs' voice--it just transported me. He beat cancer and went on performing, but he has had a stroke and no longer does concerts. He's been married to his wife since 1960, and they have five children. A good man, and a good life lived. I miss him.

[theXDguy]

werent there 5 in the group?

[Zachamaphone90]

The four tops *4*

[LadyD1976]

Is it just me or this a SEXY song or what?

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm .......... WELLSEXY!!!

[dvinediva2001]

Levi had such a strong voice...he sang lead on all their songs. I saw the Tops and Temps together and it was one of the best concerts I've ever seen. Both groups seem to have so much fun on stage, made the audience enjoy the show even more. Performers today don't do concerts like that any more.

[brentos99]

i too luuuurve motown i wasn't even around at the time just want to know where can i get"standing in the shadows of motown"?

[jnettwil1]

mmmwhaaa!! love you levi!!! bad ass!!!
