      Saw them with The Temptations at the mountain winery. I think it was in September 2023. They were tired and old, but they were still great and there was only one original I think from both maybe two from the Temptations that that was the best concert I’ve ever been to.

    Levi Stubbs was an amazing talent. Vastly underrated as a singer. Never got the recognition he deserved, which reminds me: Kudos to him for declining opportunities to go solo, out of deference to his fellow Tops. May the great man rest in eternal peace. Entertain God with that voice!

    That's my cousin Eddie "Chank" Willis whose guitar riff start this song. He was an original member of The Motown Session Band "The Funk Brothers" who churned out hit after hit for that Record Company. His distinct guitar can be heard on "Signed, Sealed Delivered", "I Was Made To Love Her" and many many more. He was self taught. His guitar style was very percussive. His chords usually coincided with the snare drum, that's how he got the nickname "Chank". So glad to have spent some quality time with him before he passed away August 20, 2018.....He's truly missed!

      Believe it or not this wasn't in their prime. Which was like 1965 through the 1970s. This song, their Grammy winning performance, was in 1982. I don't when this video performance was. But, just think of it, 15 years after "Bernadette", "The Same Old Sng", "I Can't Help Myself ", "Reach Out I'll Be There ", "Baby I'll Need Your Loving ", and so many more. And they were friends who had been together from High School. Instead of. What normally happens, where the best ones leave and go off on there own. (Such as Diana Ross, who actually wasn't the best. She was just the one that Berry Gordy liked and ended up having an affair with. As well as a couple of children. According to The other people at Motown, Flo Ballard had the greatest voice. Plus, she was the leader and founder of the group. Until Gordy got interested in Diana. And Flo also chose the name "Supremes". Which Diana didn't like.)
      Unfortunately Levi was the 1st to pass away. From cancer of course. There is a Video, on RUclips, of a great performance of Aretha Franklin and the 4 Tops with Levi (in a wheelchair) shortly prior to his passing.

    Saw The Four Tops at a soul weekender at a holiday camp here in England in the 1980's. We couldn't quite believe that we were in the company of these legends. Absolutely blew the place away, and did about an hour more than scheduled. The audience just kept screaming out for more. Then Levi did a solo version of Gloria Estefan's Cuts Both Ways. It will stay with me forever, and can still make the hairs on the back of my neck rise. Lovely, devoted friends who made such sweet music. Bless them all.

      Levi’s version of ‘cuts both ways’ is magnificent.Bognor 1991 met them leaving I think they were staying at the Grand Eastbourne.
      No one in music has ever meant more to me than Levi

    Great singers, songwriters, studio musicians, arrangers, producers. Motown up north, Stax/Volt down south, NY, LA, New Orleans, Philly, the great American song book of the mid 20th century.

    Even though I was born this very year they are performing in this video.
    I love Levi all the videos I've seen he has the best voice. His rhythm, voice and that beautiful aurora he exudes from his inner man I just love. I'm moved over to tears because you could see and feel there love for each other and the performing. It's different then some of the other groups.
    The song is such a nice melody and a REAL live performance unlike today.
    Basically 4 tops was the perfect name these guys were the cream of the crop at Motown and as far as groups in there day.
