      @@bigboy21123 It's not that cut and dry. This was back when they burned bras, actually. The late 60s. Even back then, women were discriminated against, but it wasn't because of the way they dressed or acted. The further back you go, the more discrimination. Even though the styles and clothes were more conservative as you go back into the past.

      @@brigittehuard4902 in a way. The song came out in 1964 and women burnt their bras in 1968. Just a year earlier the hippy movement started with the sexual revolution and expanding your mind that really started the culture shift that we have today. Having said all of that, I can respect you and other woman as human beings but I have 0 respect for the ideals of feminism. I guess it started out innocent enough with womans right to vote but as soon as a movement impeded on the freedoms of americans to do as they wish then I start to get a little pissed.

      Motown - Motown - Motown. Dont forget, Edwin Starr, "25 Miles" "War" "Contact" to name just a few and his version of Ooo Baby Baby with Blinky Williams. Starr was so popular on the Northern Soul scene that he quit the USA and came to the UK to live.

    Every time I hear this song I'm reminded of that scene from The Jacksons: An American Dream where Tito starts playing this song on Joseph's guitar in the living room. "And you better not mess up, boy!" 😂

    Levi Stubbs was the lead singer, and this was my favorite group from the 60s/70s. To me, he was the best. There was a kind of dual at times between the Four Tops and the Temptations. To me, no contest.

    Other must-hear songs by the Four Tops are ""I Can't Help Myself (Sugar Pie, Honey Bunch)" and "Reach Out (I'll Be There)" and "Bernadette." They were part of the famous Motown Records label from the 1960s-70s.

    Well Jay... I started snapping my fingers and my arthritis wouldn't let me. It was tough. lol Thanks for reacting to the Four Tops. I found this info on Levi Stubbs, the lead singer. Thanks again. Take care and be well. Peace.
    Four Tops lead singer Levi Stubbs,Jr., died today (Oct. 17, 2008) at his home in Detroit after a long series of
    illnesses -- including cancer and a stroke -- that forced him to stop
    performing in 2000. He was 72. ... Laurence Payton passed away in 1997,
    and Renaldo "Obie" Benson died in 2005.

    The Four Tops were a Motown group.The Motown label along with Philadelphia are probably two of the greatest labels to have produced such iconic artists and music. True timeless classics

    The first time I heard Levi’s voice I became a Four Tops fan! His voice caresses my soul.... My favorite Four Tops songs are “When She Was My Girl” and “Bernadette.”
    I think it’s especially cool that they were friends in high school who started singing together and kept singing together.
    “This loneliness inside me, darlin’, makes me feel half alive.” Yea, I know that feeling too well.

    The Motown classic Levi Stubbs on lead vocal and the Four Tops. Used to have “battle of the bands” vs The Temptations. Check out “Bernadette” by the Tops and yea early 1960s Berry Gordy and the Detroit Motown Sound

  • @jeanie4176

    My favorite Four Tops song. I love them. This came out when I was in high school. Real heart breaker. I love the emotion the lead singer, Levi Stubbs pours into it. The song keeps building, “when you see me smiling you know things have gotten worse… any smile you might see has all been rehearsed …Darling I can’t go on without you….” Come on! these lyrics and their masterful performance is why so many of us loved them, so many great songs. So glad you liked them!

    The great Levi Stubbs often said to have the greatest voice on Motown. You should put on your list from Motown
    If I were a carpenter - Four Tops

    It shouldda been me - Yvonne fair
    Higher Ground - Stevie Wonder
    The hunter gets captured by the game - The Marvelettes

    Such a great Motown group. Check out these other songs by the 4 Tops:
    "Ain't No Woman Like the One I Got
    "It's the Same Old Song"
    "Sugar Pie"
    Motown Monday sounds great, and I wouldn't mind if you "sprinkle it around" to other days of the week as well. My mom loved this music, as a result, so do I.

  • @otisdylan9532
    @otisdylan9532 4 роки тому +2

    The Four Tops song that I recommend above all others is "Reach Out I'll be There". After that, I'd go with "I Can't Help Myself", "It's the Same Old Song", and "Ask the Lonely".
