- The Funk Brothers will ALWAYS bring the pain... man, this was GROOVY bro. This song has no right to be as good as it is for what it is. Motown was incredible, man. A literal hit machine.... one after the other.... and that's just stuff the funk brothers were apart of! I see the list of the hits they played on at the end of the video and it blows my mind. The vocals were amazing too...

Standing in The Shadows of Love 1966, another great tune by The Four Tops.❤
Motown was a big part of the soundtrack for my middle school years.
Those Motown groups were so good.
Levi Stubbs : One of the best soul singers of all time. R.I.P Levi.
Fabulous group and song. These type of groups were great.
James Jamerson. Greatest bassist of all time for me. Perfect in the song player. Think of any Motown baseline, that’s him
Many, many priceless items in the Motown treasure chest.
4 top epitomised the late 60’s early 70’s believe they are still performing, not all the originals . 🏴🏴🏴
Absolute Legends...
Ahh, now there's an era! 😊
Yay! I got to see them for my birthday way back when in a club in Berkeley…all original members. SUCH a great time! Danced like crazy❤
Love this pick. Motown was a big part of my high school years. The Four Tops were so big from mid 60's onward. Thanks for the memories, Lee. Blessings all.
Funk Brothers! James Jamerson reinvented the bass!
So many great Four Tops records, Reach Out I'll Be There, Can't Help Myself, Baby I Need Your Loving.
Levi Stubbs also was the voice of Audrey II, the alien plant in Little Shop of Horrors. "Feed Me Seymour!"
Great song, love it, takes me back to 60s Motown era.
I have, The Four Tops Greatest Hits, Levi Stubbs…..one of the best.👍
Lee this is one of my favourite sixties songs -- hope you love it too ! And there were so many great black groups then ! 💈🤡
Perfection.
Yes, I was 13 and remember this on my local AM radio (pocket transistor variety). You couldn't hear bass on a pocket AM radio in those days. You had to hear it on a juke box (of which at that age I wasn't allowed) Most people don't know, but Juke Box amp circuits had a ton of bass distortion built in. That's where Americans got use to loud bass, 'cause it wasn't on no AM pocket radio with a little earpiece in your ear.
🌸 love this song
That incredible bass was James Jamerson, the most influential bass player in history. He played on over 90% of Motown’s production between 1959-1971, the golden era of the company. The owner, Berry Gordon, considered Jamerson to be his secret weapon. the most important of all the musicians. Artists and producers valued him so much that some wouldn’t record if he wasn’t at the session, and they would very often allow him to simply improvise the bass line.
When they came on stage no one stayed in their seats.
ah, memories!
There’s a Motown documentary too!
"Standing In The Shadows Of Motown" is the Funk Bros documentary.
My favorite Motown group! Levi Stubbs sings with such passion and clarity -- every word is perfectly clear both in terms of intensity and diction. His gritty voice contrasts so wonderfully with the smooth backing - and yeah, the bass is out of sight. Imagine hearing this come on your AM car radio when it was a hit single
"The Motown Sound." When you think Motown, you think The Temptations, and The Four Tops fist. They were sort of rivals, but also good friends in real life. I watched a "Motown" Special on TV in the late 70s or early 80s, with just those two groups for the entire hour. What was cool about the show was they took turns singing each other's songs. The Temps sang "Burnadette" and The Four Tops sang "My Girl."
Those of us who grew up with the Motown sound Know exactly how amazing the music was and still is! You may want to consider dedicating a few days a month to the Motown Era ~
The same Band was used for all Motown recording sessions. Four Tops and Temptations, Dianah Ross and The Supremes everyone that was on the "Motown" record label used the same studio Band. That's why the music in all of their records, had that same unmistakable "Motown" sound. It was the same musicians for all of the artists.
You should watch the documentary on The Funk Brothers called Standing in the Shadows of Motown. It's an incredible documentary.
Check out the documentary Standing in the Shadow of Morown. It's about the Funk Brothers.
They are timeless, always loved them too! Since this is my middle name, I think it's about me 😊 ha ha. Definitely a great song! Every woman wants thier man to cherish them this way ❤ always agree with what you say!!! Peace
Great choice! Love this one.
This is right up there with Motown's greatest singles. Levi Stubbs is one of the most undervalued singers of the 60s, and beyond. What made him truly great is that he could even elevate 80s trash like Loco In Acapulco into something compelling.
Thanks Lee. Try their "Are You Man Enough"...
Love it
Hey Lee. You should check out the documentary "Hitsville:The Making Of Motown". It has so many great interviews with the Motown stars and staff. Peace.
Yes, it’s fabulous!
James Jamerson
Levi Stubb's is my favorite as are the Tops. They are my go to guy group from Motown.
For your own interest you should check out the documentary "Standing In The Shadows of Motown" which tells the story of Jamerson and the Funk Brothers. It also includes a great concert featuring the surviving Funk Brothers.
The writers/producers, Holland, Dozier & Holland, along with the Funk Brothers and the Andantes made Motown in the 60s what it was. When HDH did a 'slow down' then left, The Supremes, Martha & The Vandellas, and The Four Tops saw their hits become more sporadic. No producers understood the talents of each group and how best to utilize them. The Temptations were fortunate to be tied to Normal Whitfield and Barrett Strong. But, yes, James Jamerson is an amazing bass player...McCartney has listed him as a major influence. I was nine years old when "Bernadette" (my most favorite of may Tops favorites) and it is hard to believe the great music we had growing up. 1966 was a banner year for singles...The Beatles, The Supremes, The Rolling Stones, The Kinks, The Four Tops, Wilson Pickett, The Hollies, The Yardbirds, Lovin' Spoonful, Mamas and The Papas, Petula Clark, Simon and Garfunkel, The Temptations...the list goes on.
The great James Jamerson was the bassist for this tune. Paul McCartney based his playing on him. There is a documentary on them called ‘Standing in the Shadows of Motown’. Don’t miss it. The Funk Brothers are in the film so we get to see who played on what and whose style it is on what song. Great film, sad story though. Really, Lee, don’t miss it. Also, if you lose faith in institutions, we lose our society. I’m saying this and I’m old and black with a history of not believing in institutions, lol. Nowadays, I’m fighting for you and your children. Not hating though.
