Admitted it was tribute night for Levi but it is a classic track and a good "closure" song

"Something About You"...

Edited July 6, 200916 yr by isis

" your song"..same as the dells but better

"Do What You Gotta Do" is truly magnificent Webby.

There are so many Tops classics, its very hard to say which was the best - but this would be up there.

Means so much to me.

A true Soul record, beautifully delivered.

Do what you gotta Do is amonst my favourite records of all time no question.

I also submit the other side of Ask the Lonely

Where Did You Go-just wonderful, what a double sider

Tony

Still Waters For me, just love it closely followed by, Ask the lonely / where did you go, but to be honest did Levi sing a bad song ?

"Loviing You Is Sweeter Than Ever" - not just their best ever Motown single, but also their best ever Motown track, full stop...

wow no one has said "7 rooms of gloom" how can u miss that?!

good call on baby i need your loving....

slag me off if u want but i love still water (love)

So Many Good Tunes, Levi Had An Amazing Voice.

But The 3 stand outs IVHMO

Ask The Lonely

Clip My Wings

Soldier Of Love

The Git

slag me off if u want but i love still water (love)

...what's not to love?

" your song"..same as the dells but better

I have both these and am a massive fan of The Four Tops but I have to say that The Dells version of 'Your Song' wins hands down.

Best ever FT .....toooooo many. Favourite......I Can't Help Myself (Sugar Pie, Honey Bunch)

i can tell you the worst tune is catfish on abc lol

'Bernadette' be my fave!

Simon

Must be me,and l know that 'Ask The Lonely' is very popular

but l really don't like it at all, but maybe l should!?

I'd say yes you should - but that would soooo soul source of me

Dont turn away...does it for me.

Dont turn away...does it for me.

i saw an interview with Levi and he said IF I WAS A CARPENTER was their allround greatest work.

if you listen to it you cant argue.

Tony Diamond does the best version of this for me.

Baby i need your loving - Do what you gotta do . both amazing tunes but BINYL has quite possibly the finest vocal harmonies ever!

i can tell you the worst tune is catfish on abc lol

....Loco in Accapulco

"Can't seem to get you out of my mind" ( Yesterday's dream LP & dutch 45 only)

& "Where did you go"...for me

how about these two

WONDERFUL BABY & Don't let him take your love from me

"Can't seem to get you out of my mind" ( Yesterday's dream LP & dutch 45 only)

& "Where did you go"...for me

WHERE DID YOU GO

WONDERFULL BABY

STILL WATER !!

FOR ME STEVE T

I can't help myself, by a country mile.

Ask The Lonely...prefer Ben Browns version! Not for the singing, which is average, but the arrangement is better.

if you listen to it you cant argue.

... well, I'm arguing, for one - it's not even the best version of "If I Were A Carpenter", let alone anything else!

-reach out , il be there-

QUOTE (isis @ Jun 6 09, 12:09 AM) "Something About You"...

Can I change me mind and nominate "Clip My Wings" hadn't heard it for a couple of years and forgot all about it 'til Old Soul Git posted it (ta for the memory jogger, the only good thing about getting older is its like discovering tunes all over again) lovely jingly jangly guitar on the backing track...reminds me a bit of Darrell Banks "I'm The One Who Loves You".

... well, I'm arguing, for one - it's not even the best version of "If I Were A Carpenter", let alone anything else!

I'm with you too, can't stand the song anyway, by anyone.

Levi Stubbs has one of the greatest voice in musical history but you can't polish a turd.

I know we covered all this ground when Levi Stubbs died, but I love the ones we can dance to and my favourite is I Just Can't Get You Out Of My Mind as it still packs a floor even now. Lovely Southport Saturday afternoon tune, everyone singing along.

There was a nice little film clip a few minutes long about the making of Bernadette amongst the list of Motown 50 stuff that Jo Wallace posted up recently. They were seriously worried that calling a song by a specific girl's name would limit its appeal...

Gotta be "wonderful baby" for me xxx

-reach out , il be there-

i,m with you on this.reach out.then bernadette,then cant seem to get you out of my mind.if i were a carpenter.shake me wake me.x

gotta be shake me wake me, one of motowns best

It has to be Shake Me Wake Me, for me, with Where Did You Go a close 2nd.

SINCE YOUVE BEEN GONE

FLIP TO STANDING IN THE SHADOWS

Ask the Lonely is my fave, but I also love this one

I like "LOVE BURNS LIKE FIRE"...... An underestimated track, imo.

Not forgetting Penneis from heaven on riverside( which also has a beautiful mid pace-mid tempo flip, the name of which i forget!), And the columbia release Ain't that love.......two crackers from pre-Motown days.

Mike

I can't seem to get you out of my mind

would not convert sorry.

ricky.

If i were a Carpenter.. Will take that to my grave...

Along with Just as long as you need me..

God bless Levi Stubbs..
