Yes this is a great masterpiece. I just love to listen with my headphones, and hear the harmonies, the background, the violins everything.

Men with voices and harmony. What's better than that?

One of my favourite vocal performances of all time, Levi Stubbs lays the truth out bare, time after time, song after song. Levi Stubbs is THE MAN.

I love the Four Tops more than any other group and Levi had the best voice over and above anyone else. I really miss them as a foursome, the way they just came together showed they were meant to be, they really were "Brothers" . The loyalty and respect they had for each other, their families and their fans. The Four Tops were and always will be "The Very Best" .

Words just can't explain how this music heals my soul. I'm so blessed to have heard the 45 be released and at 65 I'm still loving it.

Levi Stubbs had one of the best voices in pop music. He and the tops have always been one of my favorite singing groups and I can remember when I saw them in concert in the very early 2000s (2001-2002) and when they walked on to the stage Levi was limping really bad and I felt so bad for him because this was the beginning of his health issues. What a group and what a lead singer!

Levi, the greatest of the greatest. He had many opportunities to go solo but he always maade it clear that it was Four Tops and not One Top. Man what a voice.

I’d play it over and over and isolate a single instrument. So I know full Motown instrumentation even more than the lyrics at times. Ha

The Four Tops were part of the peak of the pop music culture. Great extended version... thanks.

Does not get any better in music than this. Levi Stubbs one of the best voices ever recorded. Also the rest of the tops

I love the Four Tops. I met Levi Stubbs as a teenager. He was as funny as a professional comedian. I'll never forget what he told me that day. He said he had the best life because he was able to travel the world with his 3 best friends. He felt he never had a job because he was always having fun. When you watch them perform, their friendship is so apparent. Levi purposely avoided looking towards Obie, Duke, and Lawrence because he would not be able to help smiling and fouling his performance. This television taping was likely in London. Notice the joy in the faces of the young viewers. There are many lessons here. Find the ones that resonate with you!! Namaste

I watch footage of life in 1965 and it looks like America was a chaotic place. But it was so peaceful and pure for a kid in those days. This music reflects what life was like back then . Just like today’s music reflects how things are today. But we can escape the nonsense for a moment just by letting Motown spark memories.

BEAUTIFUL!

Fantastic music!!! Just AWESOME Rythem, OUTSTANDING STRONG VOICES, and LYRICS that actually can be easily understood. Beautiful voices and Instrumentals in the Back-Ground.. And they looked SHARP, when performing in concert, in those matching business suits.... Even the audience , who were very young people to any other age, looked good in THEIR suits and business outfits... Pure CLASS... This whole event was AWESOME.... How I would LOVE to go back in time, and witness all of this...

The music alone takes me back to my teenage years growing up in Cleveland Ohio in the 1960's. It was great times then. Not just for the music, but for Cleveland too. The extended versions are a hit in itself. The videos of how we dressed and our hair styles back then bring back wonderful memories too. This work is a A+. A big thanks!

Priceless

Love it guys , God bless

I used to hear this playing in my backyard at night and felt so sorry for whoever was playing it. It's a horrible feeling when you LOVE someone much more than they love you. That's the devastating reality of it.

One of the best voices ever Mr Levi

So privileged to have seen the Four Tops Live 3 times ....love Levi 's voice, the dance routines ,the class always wonderful to watch and listen to

the music is clean and vibrant true song writing back in the day. today's songs and music is shit. radio stations won't play songs like this they don't want people happy anymore

This is my favorite Four Tops songs! It brings back memories of the good old days.

One of the All Time Classics and groups. Even though they have sadly passed away, thankfully we will always have their wonderful music and it will bring back wonderful memories. Love your new version.
