I just saw The Four Tops and The Temptations in W. Wendover, NV a few weeks ago. Both put on great shows. Theo isn't Levi, but he is a talented vocalist. His energy and enthusiasm helped make it an enjoyable evening.
The new bass is the son of the first original member the passed away .... he's not as good as his dad or Obie Benson, but an execllent choice as a replacement.
Honestly, this is a travesty..Icannot watch this without remembering the original and the great Levi Stubbs;indeed I would be a happy man if they would allow the Four Tops as a group to become defunct, rather than to endure this kind of thing, its VERY painful to watch. I have grown up on the 4Tops and continue to be a huge fan of Levi Stubbs, I was distraught when he passed away last October, still in mouring!
I saw them about 3 years ago and they still put on a fun show (not as great as when they had Levi, but I like Theo). If the Duke still wants to perform I'm all for it.
I would hate to see these great groups music disapear. New generations of young can really see what music was all about back when music was like this. I say keep them alive. And yes, the originals can never be replaced.
Theo my heart goes out to you.you have a great void to fill..No one can ever replace Levi..and no one could ever expect that..you have a beautiful voice and I have heard it..Levi's voice cannot be captured again..Keep the 4 Tops alive with his music.A Levi Stubbs fan
I like the tops a top five group, but I don!t care for theo in the group because I always think tempts with theo on lead, it is like teddy, marvin junior, eddie levert singing lead in the tempts, tops, or dramatics, theo is a bad dude,and this generation of tops are in good hands.
Omg that's awesome!!!!! You're one lucky girl lol. What's your myspace link? Mine is the obvious website and then /memphislover1 (can't post actual sites on here lol)
Thank you for posting this!! I love the Tops too. I think Theo is AWESOME. He'll never be able to replace Levi, but he does a damn good job during concerts! Can't wait to see them again in november!
okay, not trying to be confrontational. I jsut dont like when people assume that non original members are not really important. when I saw them, duke called them "the new kids on the block".
calling them "the new four tops" is disrespectul. They are "the four tops". just because members changed out of neccicity does no mean the newer ones are any less "tops" than the original members. ovbisouly they are as good, because Duke and levi and
