Looks like early 1980s to me. You know, I remember watching this but I had no idea at the time it was the Four Tops. Unfortunately, three of the four original members have passed away: Lawrence Payton in 1997, Obie Benson in 2005, and Levi Stubbs - the lead singer - in 2008. Only Abdul Fakir, standing to the left of the other three, is still alive.

I've been looking for this video for forever! Probably the most memorable song ever from Sesame Street for me. And I still sing it to myself when I'm waiting for the bus as an adult!

Love that reveal at the start!

Four Tops...LEGENDS. What great voices they have.

I SO remember this!!!

Black guys use to sing doo wop and harmonies on the street corner, not they just rap nonsense. Look how cool The Four Tops are, they way they took their coats on and twirled around stylin'. I like the little turn Lawrence Payton did at 0:15.

These young cats today can't sing a tune like Levi and The Tops. Wow, Levi's voice was so real, soulful, and passionate. No lip syncing, no technology making him sound better. He could sing how much is that doggie in the window or Old McDonald Had A Farm, and I would love it. These singers today have no soul.

Music when it was performed with CLASS! These gentlemen defined class, and their harmonies and style will almost certainly never be duplicated.
A real classic. Thanks for posting!
