- No copyright infringement intended. Not sure why I waited so long to extend this Motown chestnut...but here it is. The Andantes and Funk Brothers accompany the Tops. Hope you enjoy! I slipped HDH in at the end of the video...
Abdul Duke Fakir,the last original member of The Four Tops passed away at age 88 on 7/23/24,RIS REST IN SOUL!
To beautiful for words . Levi is di underrated. He had the best voice in Motown
While there are some GREAT lead singers of some groups, there are but only TWO that can ever bring me to tears: Levi Stubbs & Teddy Pendergrass. Period.
Great, keeping me alive this song , this era, I was there, sneaky old, but not really,
This song puts me and my heart in a mellow and high-class mood.
The 4 Tops made the 60's a happy place to be!!!
Kerry short but true statement.
They sure did!
U got that right brother 😊
Yes. they did.
Levi Stubbs had a unique singing voice with an uncanny, supernatural quality that comes along once in a lifetime. There hasn't been anyone who poured all his heart and soul into each song like Levi before or since. He is greatly missed.
Legendary soul music 👑
This song reminds of the movie cooly high. I love this song. I grew up on Motown music. could listen to it everyday.
Perdon me equivoque canciones para el recuerdo gracias

MOSOGOTAM (John Perrone) is no longer here to make these truly SUPREME extended versions. He sadly succumbed to the Corona-19 virus in early 2020.
😢
This is the best version of this song.This was and still is one greatest songs I know of.
Read most of the comments, Great to know people are still on the soul train 😉
We never left
Why or how would one get off?
2021, November.
Love the passion and energy in this song: Then and Now .. as only THE FOUR TOPS could deliver. ♥️🎵
You got pure taste! I hope you will never lose your style. This song gives me "power" to love and be nice to other people, and to think with a clear and a sound mind.
Loved FourTops...so easy to dance to...plus they just make you feel good....very soulful.Im a forever fan....
Solo tengo una respuesta maravilloso siempre
Me equivoque
MOTOWN LEGENDS... FANTASTIC
God bring back this great Motown music it will never die to me
I was the greatest music ever
And your remastered pieces make them all the more better than ever
Always be on the Soul Train till I die!🔥❤️
The Motown scene out of Detroit was phenominal!!!! Love love Levi Stubbs!!! This was the greatest part of growing up in the 60's!! You can't get any better than this!!
You better believe it!!!
Charlene Johnson I’m not from Detroit but I do agree with you!
ha I'm diggin the bass like never before!!
Goosebumps! Singing their hearts out! Sung with such clarity! Beautifully done! Thank you!
You got pure class and sweet style. Your disposition is worth learning from and beholding.
Only The Four Tops
Could do this
Thanks!
This song will always remind me of Preach running from Cochises’ grave. Swishhhhh 🏀
Funk bros forever ❤️🎶
this song is on 🔥!
This long song sounds wonderful compared to the shorter one on the 7" discs played at 45 rpm. It sounds clean on RUclips.
Just love ❤ love ❤ love ❤ the 4 tops
James Jamerson is STILL the greatest bass player that ever lived, and that's the truth in my opinion.
Man -- I love this song, and I love those guys! For years, when I was down, The Tops have raised me up again, challenged me to man-up and be the go-to guy for those I love and those I meet who need somebody to raise them up!
If we ever needed the power and inspiration that they've provided for us here, it's now!
Thank you, sir -- and thank you, Tops!
I cannot choose a favourite Four Tops record because I love them all, but what attracted me to Reach Out was the flute solo at the start , and I always wanted to know which of the Funk Brothers it was . However I was watching a documentary on ITV (UK Channel 3) " The Nations Favourite Motown Song " and up pops this elegant blonde woman , puts a flute to her lips and plays the very piece I was looking for . It turns out it wasn't one of the Brothers but a very elegant blonde lady by the name of Dayna Hartwick , so thanks to the blonde lady with the flute a box has been ticked in my musical memory.
Could Dayna have been a member of the Detroit Symphony Orchestra, who were used by Motown arrangers quite often.
Yes indeed , she was a woodwind player with the DSO and is featured on singles and albums with The Tops, Stevie Wonder and Smokey Robinson and others. She also does a lot of classical stuff, a very talented lady.
Here's another stretch I did that has Dayna in it....you may enjoy it...thanks for all the great information.....ruclips.net/video/GV11qq-VCyA/видео.html
Dayna's discography is on the Discogs site....fascinating!!!
Wasn't it a flute accompanied by an organ?... anyway, it was an awesome sound!!!
Oh my goodness!!! The greatness of them all👍👍👍
The Andantes!!...unsung...always there for a good background!
Levi Stubbs could put emotion into a nursery rhyme if he sang it.
great song remember it well as if it was yesterday
I do believe they had the same writers as the rest of motown groups,but the tops had such intense lyrics.e.g.Bernadette, I believe in you. But they were never in the forefront with me.now, their songs are so heartfelt to me .damn, "Bernadette!"thnx.
That "aahaah!" or whatever it is, got to me right off...who thinks this stuff up...Great clarity!
joseph peden
It kicks off every verse with a refreshing bang. 😍
joseph peden 👍🏿
Fred....thank you so very much. Glad you like the extended versions!
1966 and the love of my life, how could it be 55 years ago?
To be 16 again...your beautiful creation brought me back! You made it so real, John...thank you!
“Hey, I made your favorite song longer.”
“Marry me.”
It’s so good. I wish I understood music theory so I could explain why the instrumental sounds and the vocals and the lyrics and their cadence, etc, why it all works so well.
I wish I understood, and while it is frustrating that I don’t, I am grateful this exists, even if this all remains beyond my grasp forever.
What beautiful harmony.......thanks for this. This is one of my favorite songs and I have always loved it because of the backing vocals. Awesome.....will never be another Four Tops
Suppermom6 Love the background vocals too! What harmony!
👍
GREAT HARMONY I'll believe them..Amazing song Such An Amazing group and songLoving it !!!
This should have millions of views-people are too busy watching Bieber, eilish, and tay tay
This is one my favorite (among many) HDH songs in addition the Funk Brothers brought it on this track...the remix really highlighted that...
I LOVE THIS SONG, THANK YOU FOR SHARING, I LOVE YOUR EXTENDED VERSION, RIP LEVI STUBBS. FOUR TOPS FOR EVER.
I appreciate it...thanks!!
Love the background vocals on this one.
Excellent Presentation Of A Great Motown Classic
This is one of the songs from the movie Cooley High!!
thank you Levi and the Tops for such a beautiful songs
As so many have already said, you've made works of art in their own right, like we're hearing these (again) for the very first time -- and inside out! Many, many thanks . . .
When my son was about six, he discovered this album in the closet and that was this was the only one he played. He would put the needle on this one over and over again. He's a man now and still play this song. Thank you so much mosogotam. You're the master of wonderful memories. I just can't thank you enough. Oh and did I mention...you rock!
Terrific extended version. Thanks very much for giving us a chance to appreciate all the pieces that made this such a classic hit.
This should be played in churches worldwide - its GOSPEL to me!!!
I always felt like this song might as well be a gospel song. Levi’s voice may as well be God singing to someone. Message would fit too.
The Funk Brothers are doin it to death
you are so right!!! what an amalgam of musical proficiency; james jameson rules!!!
@@harmonichebe james president
@@BarbieChaite gets my vote!!!!
Love it.
Excellent..Oui.The brother Roberts favourite motown group.
Still at the TOP !!!
I absolutely love this version. I've never heard this one before, it's my first time. I will be forever grateful to you for posting this, thank you.
Not.....thanks a lot...glad you liked it!!
Very cool to have the extended version of this masterpiece. It's showcases the masterful vocal of Levi Stubbs, along with the 4 tops harmony and the funky guitar. This is 5 and a 1/2 minutes of pure bliss!
I love all your works. I go back to the Bronx in the sumertime growing up in the 60s.
Está LADIES AND GENTLEMEN CANCION ES UN HIMNO AL AMOR. LA MERA VERDAD
THHANK FOUR TOPS. AND MOTOWN.
Still listening November 3 2023.
Like that other guy said....."Master of Mixing" !
Ron...thanks a lot!!
WE LOST MOSOGOTAM to coronavirus. it's a very big and very sad loss to music in general. he was a great guy, and he sure did know his stuff!! he gave us so much music to enjoy...he won't be forgotten. May he rest in peace...mr P, please say hi to Levi for me.
mary ruggiero Just reading this. Are you serious! What a horrible loss for us on You Tube and his friends and family. I can’t believe it! Damn this virus straight to hell.
@@brianherrington7226 i wish i weren't serious...John passed away about a month ago. you're so right...what a horrible loss for us all. very sad...he will definitely be missed...and remembered.
mary ruggiero Just googled the article and saw it was back in early April. John was his name and he hosted a late night radio show. What a terrible loss. God Bless him he’s given me a lot of comfort during this terrible time in our country and helped me cope by remembering we lived in a happier time. This really bums me out. I’m sad now.
@@brianherrington7226 well, my concept of time is gone since one day runs into another anymore! sorry for the misinformation. yes, his name was John Perrone, and he did host a radio show. i guess i just figured everyone knew about him...such a sweet guy. i'm sorry you feel so sad...i know i did too. i'm very sure John is in a much better place. hope his music gives you some comfort, and you find your peace.
mary ruggiero we must keep his channel up and running it’s the best tribute we could give him for giving us such joy remembering these days in such heartbreaking times.
son muy bonitas estas canciones y estas versiones extendidas me encantan. no puedo dejar de escucharlas
Best group ever!!!!!!!
Bella canción la de antes The Four Tops 1966 2020
i enjoyed it
Thanks for the memorise
This is amazing! Thank you for the beautiful job you do with these gems!!!
Great group
Yes I still listen to this since Cooley high and before that.
These uploads of yours are absolutely fantastic! Thanks for sharing these!!!
Thank you Mosogotam, The hits keep getting better. Thank you for taking your time doing this. You are a master of mixing.
Very powerful!! Thanks, you made my day!
Just magnificent! These brothers stood out in the music industry and always will
I don't like this... I LOVE IT!!!!!!! :)
Especially featuring the late great Levi's solo-lead at the beginning!!! Considering that Marvin was THE god of Motown - and belongs in a totally different conversation (all by himself!) THIS is, in my opinion - the finest song to ever come out of the studio of Hitsville, U.S.A.!!! THANK YOU, so much, for this, Mosogotam!!! WOW!!! ;)
You’re so right.
I love you for these extended versions
Thanks so much, Adrian!!!
Your version kicks ass !!
This version is hot ❤ !
I hear this song
When iwas in 1967
10 years old
It was a veautiful time and the songs are gratis and life forever
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I understand man...thank you very much for getting back to me and please don't ever stop the video's!!!!
mosogotam......And thank you so much for 'slipping in" H-D-H at 4:30 !!! They never get enough credit, IMHO, and deserve plenty more shots in videos of their great hits. Motown probably would've had a few flat tires without them !!!! 1-27-18
Good old soul music
simply amazing
BIG FAN!
John--Just listened to all three of this weeks entries--as always the best, super job. You have a unique ability my friend to know exactly where to extend and what parts to mix where to achieve a seamless master version., Again, thanks for sharing your talent.
Right on to your extending these Four Tops tracks. 2 to 3 minutes ain’t enough burn time to get out of the atmosphere. You put ‘em into orbit.
Great job!
the best of the besttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttt
superrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr godssssssssssssssssssssssssss of motownnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn
Aww Man, you've done it again. EXCELLENT I love it
wcpjams...thanks a whole lot!!
John, finally getting around to catching up with your most recent remixes, and this is outstanding! Thank you for this!
It was my grandfather in the very beginning of this song. They used his sneeze in the recording. He was in the studio with the 4 Tops
Looks like 9 drunken fools hit the thumbs down. Please people!! Never drink and RUclips!!
Their still in nappies they ain't lived
It's 23 Zombies now.
How can you not be moved by this! ♥
Please contact RUclips management; let's "defunct" the thumbs thing. I appreciate a well thought, well done post, as proper consttructive criticism. Anonymous thumbs downers is like haters in white hoods & sheets- cowards. Be gone, Satan. Get thee hence.
Fools is right. This is a masterpiece for the ages
Tex....thanks so much!! Hope you enjoy my other stuff!
MY SOUL HAS SOOOOOOO BEEN LIFTED TODAY😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀
Mostogram, absolutely amazing! I am a huge motown fan, but specifically The Four Tops. Great Job, you really did this amazing song justice with your extended version, and much needed because I never get enough of this one.
I'm dying to know, where did the acapella chorus at the beginning of your version come from? I would love to hear more accappela, would love to now where you found that gem.
Thanks so much for helping to keep this alive Mostogram!
It's a shame that Mostogram passed away, he is missed.
Thank you
I am bringing your version back Mosogotam! I hope I made you proud with my RUclips video. RIP, you are missed!
AWESOME AWESOME BEGINNING. so far your best mix i've heard!
I love this. I just happened to stumble across it while looking up the original, which has remained one of my top 10 most beloved songs since I was 10 years old. These other comments make me feel really excited to check out what else you've come up with. Not sure there's anything more awesome than an amazing producer working with amazing artists.
Pistol Allen drumming up a storm for the Funk Brothers !
All of the Funk Brothers played some groovy and funky melodies and they sounded fantastic.
