Chart Topers With all of their great hits you can't find a group that puts all of the chart toppers on their CD. The Four Tops The legends of Motown. Thats why they art the Tops of music. I highly recommend this group and CD.
It's the Tops, What More Can One Say?
I grew up in the 60's, but there's so much more to the Tops and especially to Levi Stubbs' voice we didn't hear on the radio back then. If you're rediscovering The Four Tops like I am, this is a must have. Now that we're older, we can appreciate those songs that didn't get air time and realize just how talented Levi was. That voice will never be repeated and he is/was very underappreciated. You won't be sorry with this purchase. At all.
Believe me, black angels exist... They are called THE FOUR TOPS!
When I die, I hope God will be so merciful with me that if my soul gets to be accepted in Heaven, it will be received with the overwhelming sound of "Reach Out I'll Be There" by the Four Tops. . These guys are simply, AWESOME singers!!!
If you're a serious Soul/Vocal groups fan, this CD is a 'Must Have' in your collection. . . Play it everywhere, anytime. . . You'll really fall in love with the voice work of these guys! .
FOUR TOPS GET BETTER WITH TIME!
ON THIS ALBUM "LEVI STUBBS"THE LEAD SINGER DOES A SONG CALLED,"I JUST CAN'T WALK AWAY". I ALREADY HAVE THIS ALBUM AS A VINYL,SO OF COURSE I HAD TO REPLACE IT NOW
AS A CD. IT'S A BEAUTIFUL SONG AND THE INSTRUMENTAL PART GIVES ME GOOSE BUMPS. AS ALWAYS THE FOUR TOPS ARE A GREAT GROUP,BUT I ENJOY
A LOT OF SONGS THAT NO ONE HAS EVER HEARD,AND THIS IS ONE OF THEM. IF YOUR
A FOUR TOPS FAN YOU'LL ENJOY IT. PEACE AND BLESSINGS .
My vote for best R&B group ever!
It seems like the other Motown artists who were popular during the same time such as the Temptations, Supremes, The Miracles, and Marvin Gaye were given much more attention than the Four Tops were. I'm not going to write a biography on these guys but I am going to tell those who do not know much of this group or their music and are looking for a fantastic collection of excellent R&B hits from a group of classic performers this is the album to get! I feel that 'The Four Tops' were definitely not given the recognition that they deserve. But let me tell you, if you want to know what pure soul sounds like just listen to the vocals of lead singer, Levi Stubbs, on songs such as 'Baby, I need your loving' or even in their works in the 70's like 'Ain't No Woman (like the one I got)' and you'll be hooked on his voice! His is one of the most strong, soulful and sexy voices of the 60's! One of the things I liked the best about this album is that it is full of songs that you would never hear on the radio and it's a shame because some are hidden gems. This is a CD that has one great song after another. Do yourself a favor and get this CD if you don't have it yet!.
