We have played it out @ Soul Galore S25 :thumbup:

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

"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.

:thumbup:

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 :yes:

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... :thumbup::yes:yes.gif

" 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)

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.

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

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".

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... :thumbup:

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.
