      I know it’s so sad I was lucky enough to see him live at the O2 over her in the UK the year before last The Four Tops and the Temptations were performing together there was only Duke and Otis Williams from the Temptations who were the original ones but it was brilliant 👏👏👏👏😘

    My wife and I went to see them in the Uk, in Nottingham. It was either 1988 or 1989. We can both remember them singing " Going Loco" and "Indestructible." Hence the years. I can not find any official record of this concert anywhere. They wore blue shiny suits, and were awesome. Did we imagine it ? Was anyone else there ?

    True story. Im born and raised in Detroit. I come from a very larger family. My father was a carpenter. He did work all-around the state for all kinds of famous musicians and people who had high standing in their fields. I remember my family was good friends with levi stubbs and his family. We used to often visit him and his family. We also are good friends with members of the Four Tops and have done all types of work on their houses and properties. This Era of music was and continues to be a staple of who I Am and where I came from. (TIMELESS)
