      @@KhanflomahInstrumentals Was it? The four tops and Johnny Rivers had big hits of the same song, ‘ Baby, I need your lovin.’ There was nothing racist about enjoying, both. The left Bank and the Four tops also had wonderful versions of ‘just walk away Renee.’ The Four tops were Great. The music hits were abundant in that time, before todays woke see everything through a tunnel vision; thanks to the foreigner and Mike.

      She was shocked and said, "There is no song with my name in it!?"
      So I sang a few bars and she was so overcome with joy, she came from around the check stand and asked if she could give me a hug?
      And me being me, I said, but only if I can keep singing!?
      After she hugged me, she said can I give you a kiss on the cheek. 😘
      That's when I was shocked!
      So she did!
      She then told me, she NEVER had ANYONE sing to her and definitely not a song with her name in it before . . . and that's why we need OLD people!

    The FOUR TOPS, one of my favorite groups with the great lead vocals of Levi Stubbs. Three of the Four (Obi, Lawerence, Levi) have since passed bringing sadness to the music world. May they Rest In Peace and thank Duke for carrying the torch. Just finished reading the recent book by Duke Fakir and it is a great read, could not put it down.

    Duke's dad was from Pakistan. He also dated Mary Wilson. You can imagine how Berry Gordy must feel. So many of his artists died at young ages, but he lived to be in his 90's. What a legacy he created!

    Four Tops "Walk Away Renee"

    Levi Stubbs was the lead singer of the Rhythm & Blues, Soul-Rock group The Four Tops, a hugely successful group on The Motown record label in the 60s and early 70s. Levi Stubs had a pleasing, slightly raspy-baritone voice emulated and revered by many current singers. He was renowned for his voice.

    I think The Four Tops really did a great R&B justice on this song and made it one of their signature tunes reaching #14 on "The Billboard Hot 100" in 1968. I like it better than the original by The Left Banke reaching #5, Sept 24, 1966. This plaintive love song was written by the 16 year old drummer for the band.
    Levi Stubbs was diagnosed with cancer in 1995, and after suffering a stroke in 2000, he was no longer able to tour. (Wiki) He died in his sleep on October 17, 2008, at his home in Detroit. A memorial service for Stubbs was held at the Greater Grace Temple in Detroit on October 27.
    "The Four Tops - Walk Away Renee", Fave to this day!

    🥲Makes me tear up for long-lost days of happiness, safety, just all-around better times. Only rarely was there something bad on the news .... Not everyday like now. I long for my school days of the 1960's. This was one of my favorite songs from one of my favorite groups! The Four Tops!! Well done gentlemen!

      I know what you mean!!! I feel exactly the same way "The empty sidewalk on my block is not the same." It just makes me think about being a kid in the neighborhood. At that age, you never imagine your friends going in different directions, moving away, or just growing up and moving on. The way the Tops sing this song just hits my heart and makes me think of a time that has a different color in my memory.

    The Left Banke’s original take was marvelous, but leave it to the 4 Tops for making that song in question “Walk Away Renée even the more fabulous. So if there was a place for more than just one musical singing groups, both (The Left Banke and The Four Tops) will always & forever be THE G. O. A. T. ‘S of popular music. And if you can wonder what G. O. A. T. stands for, THEY’RE THE GREATEST
