My stretched version of the Four Tops, the Funk Brothers, the Andantes, the Detroit Symphony Strings and Holland Dozier Holland's brilliant collaboration.
When Levi sings a capella, you think to yourself, "the man doesn't even need the music!" That's how great he is!
You certainly got that right!!!
Doesn't hurt that it ran in the family too...Jackie Wilson was Levi's cousin and he also had a brother in the Contours!.. it's in their blood and genes I guess 🤷🏾♀️
RIP 🙏🏽all of those I mentioned. 😔
C L A S S
top 5 singer of all time..he was a pros pro
And, the flexibility of his voice!
THERE WILL NEVER BE MUSIC LIKE THIS AGAIN.
And that's the sad part!!!
The tops were the best of the motown grew. Besides Mothra and the vandellas.
Yes there is. Listen to Home Free sing "When a Man Loves a Woman"
Ever! Be glad it’s in our memories where it will always be safe and available!
You got that right!
Levi is gone, his beautiful voice is still here stirring our emotions
Eric he will never be gone
The quality and truly original sound of the Funk Brothers backing tracks mean anything they play makes the hairs stand up on the back of your neck !!!
Levi is so talented. His voice makes me weak at the knees. Music I grew up with. How lucky am I. Love you Levi. 😍🎶
He has a classic Opera Voice!
Levi, Renaldo, Lawrence, Abdul, pure genius.
They're 65 people out there that wouldn't know a hit if it smacked them in the face. That was pure 🔥
Yes I love this group , she don't love me!!!!!! shake me wake me when it's over, !!!!!!!! The Four Tops!!!!!! Somebody shake me wake me when it's over. Motown Greatest!!!!!!!!
Levi.Stubbs greatest soul singer around! The Four Tops motown's finest with all the other muscians and groups!!!
LEVI STUBBS WAS KNOWN FOR HIS OFTEN DRAMATIC STYLE AND EMOTIONAL SINGING😍😍😍 HE PUTS ALL HIS ENERGY AND SOUL INTO EVERTHING HE DID. NOW THAT IS A REAL MAN!!!!! THAT IS FOR SURE. LISA VOLTS
Bernadette!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The four tops were some of the best entertainers and had some of the best music, I have ever listen to.
It's a damn shame that this song was not even a top 10 hit for The 4 Tops! Levi Stubbs gives one of his best singing performances on this classic! Check out the unreleased version of this track by The 4 Tops and The Supremes- It's a knockout and on UA-cam!
The 4 Tops were just the very best and there were many good singers, groups and bands, they had it all together.
Temptations , and don't u fogit it!
@@alanwilson3821 Isley Brothers! So much musical greatness from Tamla Motown! What a gift my generation had to be around at its birth and listen as it grew to be perhaps the best record label of all time!
Equal to Levi's powerful delivery and the guys' subtle backup, towering credit goes to H-D-H and the Funk Brothers. Motown was innovative perfection and this song is a stellar example.
Levi Stubbs, a voice millions of American kids grew up with. What a voice!
I am 67 and still love Motown music
! am 69 and feel that to be around at the birth and following the growth of Tamla Motown has been a real musical gift. Maybe the best record label ever with the possible exception of Stax of course!
I'm 75 and Motown Music is all I want to listen to!!!
I’m in my late 40’s and I hope Motown will still keep me smiling when I catch up with the other guys in the comments !
@@Lyndanet It will. Once Motown's in your DNA you cherish it for life. It's been 63 years of lovin' Motown for me. I'm 75.

Love the FourTops. I saw them live in Sydney Australia in June 1970. I was on a 7 day R&R from Vietnam, I was 20 years old.
Thank you for your service, Sir ❤
I had the pleasure of seeing the Four Tops in concert a couple of times just before Levi Stubbs got ill. And, his voice was just as strong and pure as it was on the song. What a God given gift! The other Tops' harmony was still tight as well. 😀👍👍👍👍✌
I am a life time fan,,and I am told often that my voice is a reminder of how he was in song 🎵 J .Harris
If you vote this down you're not human.

I've said this before. No other Motown group has the classy style of vocalizing as did the four tops!
Absolutely right! In my opinion: The Four Tops are the greatest singing group we've ever had!!
Levi's plaintive vocal brings tears I just love this so so much - Hitsville Magic still stirs the soul today in 2017
Yes, our generation was blessed to be exposed to music of this caliber, and I do not think it will ever happen again.
Amen brother

I'm so thankful I had the Four Tops n my life to listen to,!!!
Yes!! In my opinion: The Four Tops are the greatest singing group we've ever had!!
I love levi's voice. It is so rich and strong.
My exact sentiments !
. . . . and so handsome too! X
Im blessed to have grown up with their gifts of such phenomenal talent. Levis voice reached into my heart and came to stay when I was just a kid of 9 yrs old. I danced to their songs with my girlfriends in our basements. We sang, danced our asses off blasting Motown, the Delphonics, Supremes, Temps, all those amazing voices! We created our own white girl dance steps, but we could dance! My friends I grew up with from 1st grade to grown-up age were a mixed bag of beautiful black friends and white, we loved each other back then and we're still each others hearts to this day whos left from them. We used to sing in the girls,bathroom because the sound carried and other girls would come in and listen, some who could,really sing and knew the words would join in. Music cut through any barriers. Those bonds will never break. If only people would stop....listen to the music! Its,the music of our lives! We jumped double dutch, we sang Motown, we shared dance moves,! I never saw color.. my friends were the greatest and the reason i woke up every day for school...we wanted to sing these incredible songs! Music transcends...i love all people!
I love the voices of the church people I listened to in Baptist Church! The soul could be heard eminating from them! Some grew up and became my idols, Aretha my heart!!! Whitney, she left an imprint! Im so mad shes gone! A voice,with no match! Ok im all snot nosed and swollen eyes from cryin pourin my heart out here. Stop the hate people! Listen to the music of your lives! This is mine!
TRUTH INDEED AMEN THE ONE AND ONLY LEVI STUBBS SIP
there will never be anyone like them, and i treasure my lps
Levi’s voice is very distinguishable with depth & clarity. I’m glad I was lucky to see him and the Tops perform.
Where's the love button! RIP, mosogotam. You've left so much for us to enjoy! Thanks!
the one and only Levi Stubbs!!!
I feel like I found a priceless treasure here. Thank you so much for this incredible music.
Very kind of you to say, Virginia...thank you!!
I'm so lucky to have grown up loving this music. Still love it❤
Excellent job!
Great song, great group. Levi Stubbs had such a powerful voice!
Thank you, Nicky
mosogotam You're welcome.

Them Funk Brothers - tore UP some music..Didn't they ?? drums, just powerful... Oh my gosh..ALL the history that was made in that little house..
Scuse how I am dressed. Had to reply. Not many people know of the Funk Brothers. More hits than the Beatles and Stones combined. So I am sitting here listening...is that Jamerson on Bass? Robert White? Eddie on drums? So you can tell you are too old when you do that !!!!!!!! Never liked Smokey, big a star as he is/was, and I still maintain he killed Motown.
people come from all over the world to visit Shakespeares birthplace in Stratford Upon Avon, England....well i reckon 2648 West Grand Boulevard in Detroit is historically and culturally just as important.
Aw man, as a young girl i wanted to know who thst was in the background of music! I missed my calling. I was always told what a great voice i had, and I wojld be in my room singing my aaaass off! The Adantes were magnificent, The Funk Bros no match! Just awesome! I used to read up on my favorite groups. I was a Motown fanatic. I remember askin my dad how far away was Detroit from my hometown in N.J. He'd say far, but you wouldnt be able to go there unless you had a bodyguard. I said why, he said because there was unrest and the people who lived there may not like you in certain nparts of that city. I said I wanna go where they make the music at, the studio! He said maybe when you get older. Im mad i didnt hop on a bus and just go with a friend in the,early 70s. Hell i was only in 5th grade when my crazy ass sisterinlaw let me drive to school. I had 4 older brothers who taught me to drive when i wss 8! I was a wild child but I wanted to meet Aretha and The Four Tops so badly! I guess ill always have that regret. Inly 1 surviving original member is left, Duke. I think hes still alive, anyway. Id love to be able to tell him how much I love him and the group. I hate missed opportunities!
SUPER! SUPER! AWESOME! TUNE!
This is harmonious singing. The lead had a strong singing voice, and the back-up harmony adds to the singing richness. Without the instruments the sound would not be as dynamic as it is. Thank you writers, singers, musicians and of course the arrangers and all others who were a part of making this song a hit. {I'm sure it was a hit.) Most of all, thanks Berry Gordy for starting Motown. Thanks for posting.
One of their best recordings, sure do miss these guys.
They don't make music like this anymore! Real instruments and ALL that harmony!
Talent’s no longer nesssry👎

Namaste Mosogotam: What a privilege it is to have someone like you (a Producer/Musical Sound Engineer, I'm guessing) be so generous in sharing these gems we’ve all loved for decades; that you’ve now turned into masterpieces. Not only because you've extended them but because you've laid bare the best parts of not only the singer's voices, but the musical arrangements as well! And you’ve done it in a way that it’s clear your ego is not involved in any way - Even with your level of technical skill, I can clearly hear it’s not about your ego. For you, it’s ALL about the music. After reading the comments I can say along with everyone else who’s an avid fan, We thank the UNIVERSE for you!
P.S. I’ve been up for 24 hours listening to all your extended Motown versions. I literally haven’t moved since late last night. I’m mesmerized by how you’ve enhanced this music. I ache all over because the temp in my NYC apartment is always about 90০ throughout the winter, so I keep my AC on (laugh). Stopped at 5:30am this morning to brew a pot of fresh coffee; so I can continue to listen and load (I use MP3 Rocket/Windows Media Player). I intend to continue to drown myself in the joy and beauty of a part of music history that you’ve now magnified to the 10th power... - ariesgirl54ify
Great post, namaste from nj
ariesgirl54ify thank you so much for your wonderful compliments. I'm not a producer
or sound engineer. I am just a guy who grew up with this wonderful music and wanted to make the songs a bit longer...and to show off the music a little more. I am a volunteer radio DJ and get to play all this great music....even sometimes I play my extended versions. I am so appreciative of you very kind words. Thanks so much. John
mosogotam Hi John, No thanks required...I grew up listening to this music too! And consider my self fortunate because I don't think there will ever be anything like it again. The first song of yours I heard and loaded was "Nathan Jones" by The Supremes but I hadn't made the connection yet by clicking on the link. I would like to make a request: Would it be possible for you to create one of your extended versions of "Magic Carpet Ride" by Steppenwolf? It's the only song that every time I hear it I want to hear more of John Kay's vocals throughout instead of that long instrumental 'trippin' stretch...Thanks again, "Mosogotam" And I'm proud to be one of your new your new Subscribers,
Annbosguy Thank you, Annbosguy
+ariesgirl54ify So very deeply felt and said. I've always said listening to Motown is a joy...'feeling' Motown is a blessing and mosogotam lets us feel Motown all over again like for the very first time.
I don’t remember hearing any group squabbles within the Tops, as with the Temps. That’s why I believe the Tops endured “til death do us part.” The quality of these groups will never be duplicated.
I walk to the public projects here in Melodies like this in the 60s great songs
I keep coming back to this extraordinary remix. Learning to play the drum part. Wonder if this was Pistol Allen or another of the Legendary Funk Brothers drummers. Play this LOUD and play this OFTEN. Maybe we can instill what great Music is to the young skulls full of mush.
John, I believe that is Benny Benjamin on the drums in this session :)
YES INDEED THERE IS A GREAT AURA ABOUT LEVI STUBBS. HE IS SO MUCH LOVED BY A LOT OF PEOPLE. 😍😍😍😍😍😍 LOVE LISA.
Just brilliant! The four tops pure class.
Another Masterpiece ,written by the Masters HDH , for the only singer / group who could do this song amongst Motown , the Tops
I love this version of this classic tune! Thanks for posting this!
THIS IS MOTOWN!
And we got it for the rest of our lives
I have listened to theTops since inception of the group .I am 69 years old. Do the math.
@@gailrogers I'm 78, and still listening...4Tops, Fourever!!
Saw them live in 1974 i was 18 i am now 61 love them so much it herts
Love all the MOSOGOTAM REMIX Motown Music changed the American culture and influenced the planet Detroit was everything not so long ago A distinctly music oriented city The importance of this music can't be overestimated The music forms an emotional connection with the listeners
WHY oh why, dont we have music like this today?
The songs rang true today beware beware of the ones you trust and the ones you think are your friends that you love shake me wake me when it's over
@tropicalpancake56 ...John...thank you so much!
You deserve a knighthood for this.
TerryTime...thank you very much for the great compliment!

@brucini33 ....Bruce....hahahahah....yeah....Barbra even would listen....but I'm glad you do! Thanks so much!
Through these walls so thin, I hear my neighbors when
They say, "She don't love him, she don't love him"
They say my heart's in danger
'Cause you're leaving me for the love of a stranger
Somebody shake me
Wake me somebody when it's over, when it's over
And tell me that I'm dreamin'
And wake me when it's over, when it's over
Seems like you had to be attractive as well as talented in the 60's to be a famous singer.
Berry didn't' miss with Jackie Wilson and damm sure didn't miss with his own company, when every thing was said and done will here it is baby MOTOWN!
One of the best 4 TOPS 😋
These Men, should inclined anyone Black to be proud and represented.🙌🏾🙌🏾🕺🏾🕺🏾🕺🏾🕺🏾
This white Lady agrees with you. I love this music and always will.
Love Levi and the Tops .........
VERY POWERFUL MELODY AND SINGING !!!!!!!!!!!!!! LISA VOLTS ☺☺

Thank God there was Mowtown Music...My Fav...Feel good Music!!!
Blessed to have been part of this musical era. noting but the best. still listening Dec,2019
It has been a great pleasure to have had the time to listen to and keep the 4 Tops, in my music, they truly had what it took, to give an appreciation for excellent music.
LEVY STUBBS AND THE FOUR TOPS 💝💝💝💝💝 LISA VOLTS
The four tops were awesome.
This is so fresh... Its Fantastic....
All your extended works are a blessing to me. Brings back wonderful memories of my childhood with family and friends who have since transitioned. Can't thank you enough!!!
From COSTA RICA... When I was a high school student, this was love at first hearing... Remains today! Excellent alternative. Thanks, my friend.
Love you Levi, miss your voice so much together with the fab other three Tops RIP
always loved Motown since the beginning and I was hooked on the Tops after "I Can't Help Myself" and this was one of the first singles after that love it too, the extended remix is so good great work and thanx for bringing it to us all my man!
elamite...thanks so much for your kind comments!!
What a group of singers, as the four tops were head and shoulders above many musicians.
lets face it, there will never be music like this again, so sad.
Shake Me.Wake Me.I'm back in The Dungeon Club , Nottingham in 1966.Where have the years gone.?
Those of us that grew up in the days of this music will all be gone in 15 years it was a great time to grow up
One of their most ''Dramatic'' songs and thank you for letting us hear the wonderful backing vocals as well as Levi's excellent Lead Vocal.
🎤🎤🎤🎤
Thank you very much....I certainly won't remove it.
I just luv all the old music
This song is on 🔥 !
Apologies, but I just have to keep giving you kudos for exposing these great songs and music, and often showing me what I didn't hear!
+joseph peden ....Joseph...thanks so much...I appreciate it!
MIX!!! as good as it gets. (and those young Tops' basement dance pix 311-340...we're talking american history here!! todays' US stars::: bow down and kiss the ground these four and the Motown empire walked on.
Amazing times.an amazing group oh to go back to those days
This caliber of music comes along once in a lifetime . What you're doing the for the fans of "The Motown Greats", is a service and tribute that is absolutely PRICELESS. My hat's off to you, and your special talent !!! Many , many, many, thanks . Suze
+Suze Rainer And MANY thanks to you, Suze...I appreciate it!
+mosogotam can never get enough of the four tops, especially the extended versions. many thanks for supplying so many moments of bliss!!
+Suze Rainer You are correct...he is GREAT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Mosogotam is the Motown mix master....
He is to Motown what Tom Moulton is to Philly Soul....
MOtown, SOul,GOrdy,TAMla=mosogotam, our amazing friend who made incredible music that much more so!!!
John, this Four Tops remix really rocks, and it really benefits from the thoughtful stretching out that you so generously provided. Have you ever given any thought to giving some new life to the Tops "You Keep Running Away." If anyone can work alchemy on that classic H-D-H recording, it's you!
I feel so blessed to have grown up near Motown and the music of the 60's, 70's and 80's. The music today is not talent.
