The Tops, the Temps, the Miracles, the Imperials, the Impressions the best singing groups from an era that will never be topped for incredible music, soulful, incredible performers and voices that have stood the test of time. I miss the greatness of that time, it was just an incredible time to be alive and have experienced them live and in their primes. This is a great post an video. Bravo.
@quieterrps Hi Craig...Four Tops are one of my favourite groups :-) got to admit that my first love of music is Motown...then northern/modern etc....Take Care and thanks for all the comments!
In my early days , I listened to music, but It hit me like runnuing into a brick wall when heard Levi Stubbs sing. The words were to real.Sitting there listing to songs like "Just Ask the lonely, and Still Water." I said to my self, did he say that? Man thas powerful. - too real!
I think back and remember all the good and bad times these guys got me through. Being scared out of my mind for 13 months, missing my family, getting Dear Johned, coming home to a city that was burning itself down. I got thru so much of that because of Motown and the Tops. God rest your souls, I hope you knew the joy and solace you gave to so many.
Thanks so much for posting this -- one of my all time favorite songs!
However, the back up band just DOES NOT have it together -- primarily the drummer. You can see it on the Tops faces ("oh my God!!" "What's up with that sh--?!") and the bass player trying to lock down the groove.
@eringobrath1965 yes I agree!...been there but now really happy again and loved up...thanks to my little owl (John (niteowl147)) lol. Thankyou for all the comments Jeff!
Too bad these groups weren't on film more. Guess Karma strikes back because now anyone with a notion can be on video.

Levi's phrasing is impeccable and soul-stirring.
